Thanks for sharing this lovely piece about your grandfather with us, Dan! My paternal grandfather died before I was born, and my maternal grandfather died when I was just 9, so I mostly grew up with aunts, uncles and two grandmothers (who have since passed on). But your wanting to remember the simple and beautiful things about your grandpa touched me, and I thank you for remembering. Please continue to keep the memories alive so that the next generations will also cherish and remember the good times as you have!
