I only have favorite memories with him and so many funny stories. He was born on Christmas Day and came home to 4 big sisters anxiously awaiting a new little brother. Of course we reminded him that none of us could open presents until the new baby came home, a 5 day wait in those days. A year later, he was blessed with yet another sister. Poor guy was surrounded by women, later there were additional brothers (4) added to our family (10 kids total). When he married and had children, he was blessed with ... you guessed it, 2 little girls. :) :) He was very proud of his girls, and when the oldest got married, he was finally blessed with a little boy, then another boy, and then a double blessing, a set of twin boys. He was so proud of his family. Today, I spent the day with our family. His little guys will sure be missing their grandpa as well as all of us. He was humble and kind, had a very genuine golden heart. There is so much I could write, but today my heart feels raw and the words don't flow. He touched so many lives and had a heart of gold, and is already missed!
