The pics of your grandpa younger remind me so much of my grandpa. He would be in his late 90's by now. All of my grandparents are gone now, grandpa hung on the longest and died a few years ago. He was the fun, silly, grandpa that would always take the kids fishing or golfing, or give them candy...much like yours.<br /><br />Beautifully written my fellow Kansan.Amy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15765516850913923317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718196829718123475.post-83518305112444430802011-07-07T07:49:28.850-05:002011-07-07T07:49:28.850-05:00I'm so sorry for your loss.

Bu...I'm so sorry for your great loss Laura....<br /><br />But you painted the perfect picture of a wonderful man. Your Grandpa!<br /><br />My family was a lot like yours too. My Grandpa (Daddy Ray) was really wonderful, but it was my Grandma (Mama Myrt) that truly held our family together. When she passed, the life of the family was gone....it has never been the same without her. My Daddy Ray died of a broken heart less than a year later. They were married for about 75 years. <br /><br />But isn't it great to have had that kind of family bond?Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992977491095091038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718196829718123475.post-13715704745504454642011-07-07T00:26:23.522-05:002011-07-07T00:26:23.522-05:00What an amazing tribute to an amazing man..
