We will miss our grandpa's witty humor and strong beliefs. It brings us great joy to know that he has traded in his frail earthly body to be in the presence of the Lord. To those of us who have been watching our grandparents' marriage, they have been a beautiful picture of faithfulness and committed love for 63 years. We truly couldn't have asked for a better father and grandfather. We thank the Lord for the great example that he provided for our family. It is our honor to carry on his legacy.
