My Grandpa

I wish I had a digital picture to post of my grandpa, but nope. He passed away last Friday, and his memorial service is today. He is the last of my grandparents to pass away.

Anyways, I just wanted to post a little something about him, since it was too difficult for me to go. My grandpa was a man with a sense of humor. He always seemed to joke around (or at least that's how I saw it when I was little). He even liked to tell Mark jokes (you should ask him what they were!). He has been generous to my small little family, though he had very little. He was a very hard worker, and was a farmer most of his life. We would go help him on the farm when we were little during the summer for a few days. Despite the horrible smell, I enjoyed it. Because of circumstances, I was not able to see him for over 20 years, but was able to keep in touch with him by phone and email and letters over the last 10 years. I was hoping to visit him soon, but that wasn't meant to be. We hope you have peace, Grandpa! I love you.
