My most treasured memories as a kid was with this amazing talented man! So happy to have such a wonderful Grandfather! I will always remember the times spent heading to the lake, him saying “look there is the yellow smiley face” knowing I was so eager to see that yellow giant water tower in Ashley IN knowing we were almost to the there to dig up some worms and head out on the lake for a day of fishing. Grandpa and I always made it a competition of who could catch the most or the biggest fish, (and I of course would think I won every time!) when we were done we would go to the fish house, I would stand on a 5 gallon bucket just so I could reach to help scale all those fish we caught! I will always cherish those summers spent enjoying Grandpas company! Rest In Peace Grandpa! You surly will be missed! Love you!
