I’m so very sorry for your loss. It’s hard to lose a parent n for Maxine a husband n companion. I hope you have comfort from knowing he lived life a long good truthful life. Twy-you posted not long ago that your Daddy said “If it’s not a blessing or a nice thing to say-I don’t want to hear it” That has always stuck in my head. What a great Dad he was to you kids n a blessing he was to every1 one that knew him. Very blessed to have know him. (((HUGS)))

to all my family, if you knew grandpa well, you would know that he was a very special person. No matter what I’ve done, good or bad, he still loved me 100% and made sure I knew that. He’s the only real father figure I ever had. If I could be even a little bit like him it would make the world a better place. I miss you grandpa and will love you forever. This is hard for me, I dont know what Im gonna do for Thanksgiving and Christmas, they were most memorable with grandpa. I give everyone my condolences.
