Grandpa was the only grandfather I knew and really was the main male influence in my life. As much as I hated our fishing trips, I am glad he did such things with me; he would take me on new adventures all the time as a child... He was a man that accepted you for who you are and was ALWAYS there when you needed him! You will be missed greatly but know we will not be without you! I love you grandpa.... RIP
When I was 7 months pregnant (Shortly before i delivered), Grandpa came to my house and saw that I had one foot of water in my basement. My 85 year old grandpa and I spent the day hauling buckets of water up the stairs and dumping it outside. Neither one of us should have been doing that and we both knew it; he knew I was determined and wouldnt let me do it alone. A few months later he bought me a ladder to clean my gutters, and well, I was too scared to climb it. What did he do? He climbed the ladder and cleaned the gutters for me!
