Last Saturday was a very sad day for me. My Grandpa, mom's Dad, passed away at the age of 89. Though it was sad to see him in the hospital, after having a massive stroke, we were uplifted in knowing just what he has accomplished here on earth and all of the lives that he has touched so deeply.
Just a few of his many accomplishments:
1.) Engineer for B& O railroad for years
2.) Pilot instructor during WWII. He trained pilots that flew over Germany and Japan
3.) AWESOME Husband, Father, and Grandfather
4.) Man of God
One thing that G-pa did not want was a funeral so on Wednesday we held what we called a "Celebration!" We celebrated his life and had such a good time reminiscing with family, friends, and people I had never even met, but because of this man, had that opportunity. He touched so many lives and we will miss him for sure!!
WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA!
