grandaddy



Grandaddy died one week ago today.  In honor of his life, here are some of my cherished memories I have of my grandfather. 
-riding in the wagon with him pulling us with his riding lawn mower
- taking us to the driving range to hit golf balls
- showing us how to shoot a BB gun
- remembering little details of my life (which is pretty impressive considering he had 15 grandchildren)
- his famous barbeque chicken 
- his golfing hat and teal-colored pants 

and the final memory I have is watching a group of marines perform a 21 gun salute at my grandfather's grave site to honor his 30 year service in the marine corps.
