June 22, 1923 — August 27, 2010

May you always rest in peace Gramps.

Gramps as a young boy with his three sis­ters. Not sure of the date this was taken but I am think­ing some­time around 1935.

I really love this fam­ily photo of my Gramps, Grammy and Dad. It was taken in1943 just before he went into the Navy dur­ing WWII. My good­ness Dad was such a cute lit­tle boy.

This photo was taken in Dec. of 2005. It makes me laugh because Made­lyn was really giv­ing him a fit. The lit­tle bug­ger was not want­ing to sit down. Which meant she and Gramps were hav­ing one heck of a wrestling match and the lit­tlest one almost won. Thank­fully a toot­sie pop was found and we got a photo but this one is my favorite.

As most of you know this was taken this past July. We all had lots of laughs that visit. Gramps never lost his humor.

And this adorable group of kids, although now a bit older and a lit­tle grayer are all together and so relieved that their dad is at peace. They have spent the past week at his bed­side rem­i­nisc­ing about all the fun and crazy things they did with and with­out him while grow­ing up. I’m glad they are together.

Take care Gramps and say Hello to Grammy, Fran­nie and Richard for me.
