Your great-grandpa passed away about a week ago. I'm sad you never got to know him. You'll never remember this but you did meet him at Christmas. You both so were tickled by each other and I was so glad to catch a few of the moments on camera.
I don't even know where to start on all the memories I have of this man. Since we grew up about a mile from their house, we were able to spend a lot of time with grandpa. He was a character. He was a man's man, a fisherman, a storyteller, a hunter, a businessman, a go-getter, a hard worker, had the highest pain tolerance I've ever seen, a collector, a historian, a lake-legend, strong willed, goofy, and just a great, fun-loving grandpa to us.
His passing away has hit me harder than I thought it would. I miss the grandpa that I grew up with and am sad I only have memories to hold on to.
I just hope that you have the same fondness for your grandparents that I do for mine. I hope you have too many memories to put in a blog post. I hope you treasure the time you get to spend with them and tuck away sweet memories that you can carry with you through your life.
