To Remember To remember our dear father, we only need to look to the running deer, the swimming fish, or the bird in flight. To remember our dear grandfather, we only need to recall his huge smile and his warm handshake. We will always remember the man who gave to each of us so generously, his time, his talent, his energy and most importantly, his love. We will miss you forever, but know that you are in a better place, collecting coins with the Almighty Father, and smiling down upon us with the flight of each cardinal, the spring of each deer, the roar of each bear, and the beauty of each sunrise and sunset. We will never forget you, Grandpa, you will be with always. We will recall your greatness each time we lay our heads down to rest and miss your friendly smile, wonderful sense of humor, and passion to live each day to the fullest. May God be with you, and with all of us as we grieve your passing.
