Lucy Roberts (Granddaughter)
Probably my favorite memory of my grandfather was the day I introduced to him my future husband, James. James was with me when I stopped by for Grandparents Day three years ago. After the introduction, an easy conversation followed about guitars and music. I remember feeling happy to see the pleasure on my grandfather's face as he spoke of his love of music with my guitarist husband-to-be. How impressed I was when he told us that even though it was a little late in the game, he was learning to play the banjo. I considered that even on the brink of turning 90, his sense of humor and keen intellect were evident in his comedic yet insightful style of conversation. I'm thankful that we got a chance to know Grandpa - someone who was willing to have new experiences and embrace life until the end.
