Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Mickey were always good to me. Their house was a welcome escape from whatever my life was going through, many times over the years of my childhood. I memorized the way to their house; I could do it to this day and I havent lived in state for most of my adult life. Grandma Mickey always made you feel loved, and Grandpa Chuck never made you feel stupid, though he easily could for his wisdom. From yard work at the house, to washing the motor home and vans, to trying to learn stocks; he taught me a lot, he was a truly good man, and I will miss him. I dearly hope they both find peace with their God.
