As some of you already know, the kids’ great-grandpa (Kevin’s Grandad) went home to be with the Lord Sunday morning. Although we will miss him I keep thinking that this is an occasion to rejoice too. Maybe bittersweet is a better term. Grandpa was blessed to spend 92 years on this earth, almost all of those years as a Child of God. He was married 63 years, had 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. He had fairly good health until the last month and he lived at home for all but the last two weeks. Honestly, that is a good long and blessed life to be thankful for and celebrate….
Anyway, I just wanted to get the text of his obituary down here so I can access it in the future if needed. I’ll attach a link with all the service information at the end. Plus I wanted to share a couple of my favorite photos.
