Grandpa, you and Grandma are in together again in a better place. My fondest memory was the summer I spent living with Grandpa and Grandma. We would drive to Johnson Park and all the rest stops looking for $.10 cans in the dumpsters. Grandpa told me that I could never share that secret with the family and I never have until now. All the other grandchildren were so jealous that I got to spend the summer with Grandpa and Grandma. That was the best summer of life. Thank you Grandpa for all you have done for me. Rest in Peace.
