The Carpenter Boys on Father's Day 2008 (Dad, Grandpa and Craig)
Dad and Aunt Kathy with Grandpa on his 80th birthday this past April.
During my last visit with Grandpa in July I drew funny pictures on his wipe board. The drawing of him made him smile and laugh! That is how I want to remember him :)
The world lost a great man today but Heaven gained an Angel.
*I love you Grandpa!*
