The absolute greatest grandpa anyone could ever ask for! I was beyond blessed to have him in my life. He was not only the most caring, loving, most joyful person I have ever known but a phenomenal chef! He not only cooked well but also grew the best garden with the finest veggies for his wonderful meals he made. Some of my fondest memories with paw paw as a child was digging potatoes and listening to all of his stories. He had many stories he would share with me that I will never forget! Such a wonderful and wise man! Seeing him pass those stories down to my children meant the world to me!! Watching him teach them his tricks in the kitchen and telling them his secrets to certain recipes was so heartwarming 💕 He was involved in everything for me and my kids. Softball, tball, football, track, cross-country, basketball and any other event me or my kids had. Rain or shine he was there! He was the most motivating person i have ever had in my life! His outlook on life was so genuine. He was such a family oriented man. The love he had for us all was amazing! Again..I was highly blessed to have him as my grandpa! I love and miss you so much paw paw!! You will always and forever be my rock!! Love Haleigh, Hayden, Marleigh and Kensleigh
