A Great and Special Man... I'm not really sure what I can say that has not been said about this wonderful guy! Grandpa was defiantly on of a kind. I have always believed that their was nothing he couldn't do. I watched him for years as he worked with all he had on his farm, for his family, and in the church. I was by his side while he battled cancer, and he held my hand when I fought my own battle. I think after a trial like that it is very reasonable to feel invincible.
Grandpa and Grandma where the center of our large family. They supported each other, their children, their grandchildren, and their great grandchildren. They were always together with their wonderful smiles, and sweet laughs.
I am so glad to know that even though Grandpa isn't with us any more here on this earth that he is somewhere wonderful, and that he is still with family. I think Grandma was right to say that he is taking care of my little girl for the next few month until she joins our wonderful family here on earth. I can only pray that she inherits some of his wonderful loving traits.

FOR MY GRANDPA I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,
That we've lost our Grandpa, our friend and our dad
Together we have cried an ocean of tears
As we feel so empty and hold many fears

But Grandpa would want us to know he's in a good place
And that he watching us all with a smile on his face
As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be
That he has raised such a beautiful and special family

Thinking back now I really must say
I feel lucky and privileged to have known Grandpa to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to your heart

For me I am glad my little baby he got to meet
And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete
To each one of us he has loved and cared
And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared

Although he has gone we will always be together
And his spirit will live on each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be Grandpa looking down on us from afar

And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Grandpa with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of our Grandpa as he is very dear to us

Grandpa if you are listening say a prayer for us every day
Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way
We know when God called you, you had to go
But we want you to know Grandpa we miss you and love you so

Love you always,

Mike, Stefanie, Izabella, and Baby Girl

I saw your Grandpa when we were up in Royal this summer and talked with him. He sounded and looked so good. I was shocked when I heard he passed away. He will be greatly missed. What a wonderful man!
