My grandpa was always  bullet-proof.  He was unstoppable, an ironman.

He was the person who taught me how to shoot a bow and to walk quietly through the woods.  He instilled many qualitites I value, and he didn't  just talk the talk...he walked it too.  He bult a legacy, from teaching kids in his classroom to providing a wholesome, comfortable life for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  It took an unbeatable disease  to bring him down, and he even gave that a run for its money.  I will remember him everytime I see the sun rise over the mountains he loved so dearly, and am comforted to know he is tromping through the mountains of Heaven looking down on us all.

I love you Gramps, and can't wait for the day I see you again.

With All my Heart

Your Grandson, Tanner

Playing softball with my dad is one of the most rewarding things I have done. It wasn't really about the game but spending time with him. We sat together as we waited for our turns to bat.  He always had a tidbit of advice as I went to the plate. We had many many hours of good visits and truly quality time together. I was so proud of him. And we always had mom keeping our stats and cheering us on. Thanks Dad for the memories..  I love you ~Jan
