Grandpa was a kind man, served his country and family, and was someone who never quit. Even as he got older and things got harder to do, you’d still find him doing things like chopping wood by hand. I will hold close the memories I have from when I was growing up, when we played in the garden and the backyard. He will be missed. Love you grandpa!

Dad, you were a humble and great mentor for me growing up. I could never fill the shoes you wore.
Thanks for being a great father,
father-n-law to us, and grandfather to our three girls. We miss you already, so get with mom and we will see you again. Love you.
