My Grandparents

The world lost an amazing man, husband (71 years married), father (of 7), grandfather (24 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, 3 step grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren),  and friend this week.  I was so lucky to call this man my grandfather.  I saw him 8 weeks ago and he was so interested in knowing where my son was playing soccer at that moment and thanked me for telling him.  The day of death was 1 month before his 96th birthday.  Up to and including last summer he played golf and still managed to do a lot around the yard.  He was an awesome athlete and even played street hockey with my son and niece and nephew a couple years ago.  Those are some of the amazing memories I will hold of him over the years to come.  The ones I will hold the most is watching him and my Nan dance.  My cousin Kathy got married a year ago Thanksgiving and I have pictures of him and Nan dancing.  There was nothing more amazing than watching this.  Even in his last year of life his dancing was absolutely amazing and they truly inspire me.  

Here are some pictures I took of him less than a year of  him.
