We Love You Grandpa

Well..... it is with a heavy heart that I make this post, but I really felt like I needed to. My grandpa passed away on Saturday morning. He had been in failing health since about Feburary. Although I know it is better for him not to be suffering any longer it is still hard knowing that he is not here anymore. I will always remember my grandpa's kindness, he was able to strike up conversation with complete strangers and by the time they were done talking he had made a new friend. And boy did my grandpa like to talk, I can remember going places with him and begging him to go because he had found someone to talk to!!! I will also always remember his silly habit of writing or engraving his name and purchase date on anything he could get his hands on, peanut butter, coffee, car batteries, you name it he had his name on it!!! My grandpa was never in a rush to go anywhere, evident in his only driving about 40 mph max speed. When I would tell him to go faster, he would always tell me you don't have to drive the speed limit.
