They called him Pa
I think the photos below speak for themselves about how much Pa loved his grandkids. He was involved in their lives, from showing up at their sporting events, taking them on lawn mower rides, going hunting & fishing with the boys, being part of a teaching moment when it came to driving, woodworking, the garden or his rabbits, he was always a part of the fun – he did his best to make sure each one of them knew he loved them in their own special way.
To Ryan, Ian, Emma, Erich, and our little Opal. You meant the world to Pa.
Welcome Baby Opal

Dad held this little 5 lb bundle of joy 8 days after she was born. Grandma, Cheryl, Uncle Don and I flew to celebrate this wonderful little addition to the family! We were so blessed to be a part of her arrival. Grandpa called you Precious.
Grandpa… Tell me 'bout the Good Old Days
