Sorry for your loss Jan and family.
Grandpa, you were the greatest man that I’ve known. Always there for your family and always lending a helping hand to friends or complete strangers I’ll remember the bus trips to Mcarthur stadium with the Elks lodge for Chiefs games, and stopping in for lunch with you and grandma when I worked at the store. The trip to Hampton beach. The way you always wore your hats or the friendly “Howdy, howdy” when you’d see us. I’m going to miss you so much.
All my love,
Jimmer

I’m sorry you’re going through this difficult time, and I’m praying for peace for you and your family.
