We had some wonderful times in Huntsville, Alabama. My Gramma and Grampa have always been there for me and my family, helping to create special moments. I’ve learned so much from them and am so grateful for being able to be so much closer these last few years.
My stepdad was the most wonderful man I have ever known — incredibly smart, kind, patient, and loving. I deeply regret the time I missed with him, but I am so thankful God gave me the chance to be close to him again in the last years of his life. Those moments became priceless to me. His wisdom, warmth, and love will stay in my heart forever, and I will always cherish the blessing of having him in my life.
He was the engineer, the pilot, the photographer, the writer, the funny, loving, traveler, and provider. He taught me about rules in relationships, about duty, and working hard to take care of home and enjoy life, about taking responsibility, about finding solutions, about principals, lessons, finances, how to deal with hardships, and to always to keep going. To do more than what I thought was possible and to share life with the ones I love. He made me smile, he believed in me, he encouraged and guided me, and he took care of my grandma. He was the best man I had ever personally known and showed me how a man should be. I am forever grateful for the ability to be his family and blessed to have had him in my life as long as I did. I love you Grampa.
