In reality he was my step grandpa but there was nothing step about him. He is the only grandpa I ever had or knew as both of my parents lost their dads at a young age.
He was a working man who loved his family and suffered tragedy. When Carol, his daughter, my dad’s half sister was 13 she died fron a brain aneurysm. Then when I was about 13, Daryl his son and my dad’s half brother died. He was around 30. Daryl died in a parachuting accident. For a long time his bedroom was kept as a shrine.
Even with all this heartache he loved his grandchildren and all the future great and great, great grandkids. My favorite memory of Grandpa is that he had the best carnival barker routine. He always made it so funny but saying pea corn, pop nuts, chewy water and soda gum. There was more to but I laughed every time.
You accomplished a lot in your long life but most importantly you loved well and were loved by many. Rest in Peace
My life on an unexpected path
