I’m sad to report that my wonderful grandfather passed away on Jan 4th. He was just an incredible man, the type that doesn’t come around too often in this world. When I was young I spent a ton of time with him and my grandma. In the summers I practically lived at their house in Sanford when my aunt Pat and her 5 kids were down for weeks at a time. Then later my grandpa, grandma, and I would drive up to spend a month+ of our summers in Indiana. I learned a lot from him, especially on those road trips…but what I take from him the most is his commitment to family. I think he was at his happiest when the entire family would get together and he had grandma at his side. We have so many great memories to cherish.

Sadly he was my last grandparent left, luckily though I have incredible parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, friends, and my wonderful wife to help fill the void. I made a photo montage for him that we played the the memorial that I figured I’d share with my blog readers although most of you probably have already seen it. This actually is an “alternate” ending from what was shown at the memorial as I made the ending how I originally wanted it now that I had a little extra time.
