My grandfather passed away yesterday at the age of 93.
We will miss him very much! He blessed our lives with his sense of humor, huge smile, enormous appetite and gentle spirit. He loved my boys so much and I am thankful for the time they had together. I probably saw my grandparents way more than the normal grand kid. I am grateful for all the memories this allowed me. His memorial service will be held on Saturday.

Some of my fondest memories with Paw Paw were in his garden. Together we picked beans, tomatoes and my favorite was digging for potatoes. When I was much younger their home was a grand kid's dream come true. They had a huge yard, pool, multiple gardens, a lake within walking distance and a porch for sleepovers and fresh blueberry pancakes!
We love you!
