Save me a spot on the banks of the trout stream and at the game table. You’ll be missed a lot.
Deepest sympathy to your entire family. He will live on in your hearts!
Greatest prayers for the family’s loss. Empathy as I understand how it feels. “Grandpa” was unforgettable at 1st greeting. You knew him not so much by name, but as “Angela’s dad” “Melissa’s dad” “Chloe and Clayton’s grandpa” or “ Noah and Nat’s grandpa”. Or all at once, depends why he was at the center. The summer he put in a pool, his “grandpa” status grew to all invited to swim. He was always willing to make someone else smile, or tell them a story about his life. He was proud of his career helping others.
Please accept the condolences from my family and me. We are blessed to know this life does not end, but continues joyously with the Lord.
