This post is a tribute to my sweet Gramps. He passed away yesterday, and will be greatly missed. I have so many fun memories with Gramps. I remember him as a big, tough, fun-loving, adventurous, and loving man. I remember him cliff diving into the Firehole in Yellowstone, diving into Jackson Lake and coming up to scare us. I remember him piling all of us cousins into the TravelAll and cutting firewood. I remember him driving the boat. I remember him taking immaculate care of his yard. I remember him loving his AirStream trailer and square dancing in Yuma (I wish I had seen him in person, but I did see lots of pics). His laugh was contagious. I remember him at my baptism and my wedding, and many events in between. I remember his love of photography. He took beautiful pictures. He had a twinkle in his eye that brightened any room. He leaves behind his beautiful bride Grams, his four children (and their better-halves), his 15 grandchildren, and his 15 great-grandchildren. I love you Gramps!!! I will miss you soooooooo much, but will look forward to seeing you again someday. I thank my Heavenly Father for allowing me to spend this life-time with you. Thank you for your love and example, I love you!!!!!!
