June 1, 2014
Growing up right next door I had the chance to spend a lot of time with my grandpa. I learned the punchlines to his jokes, played in his yard with my friends, and found a way to get in front of the camera whenever he was behind it.
He seemed to know everyone by name. A smile, a handshake, a conversation..then usually laughter.
As I've gotten older I've grown to admire his generosity, his love for his family and friends, and the strength and determination he showed in caring for my grandma while fighting cancer.
I'm proud and grateful to be his grandson and I hope that I could someday be as good of a man as he was.
