Grandpa

My mom's dad left this life on the morning of February 2nd.  He lived 95 years and was married to my lovely Grandma for 71 of them.  He loves his family, his Savior, and nature and the outdoors.  Here's his very well written obituary.  He's the most kind and loving man.  And very fun, I love his laugh, smile, and hugs.  I'm so grateful for him.  Here are a few favorite pictures. Love you Grandpa!

1988, not long before we moved to Virginia.


1991 my grandparents visited when my sister was born, I loved playing Memory with him!


2008 Family Reunion
Hanna Utah, where he grew up.


With one of his brothers.


These 3 pictures, from their home in St George in 2009, I took off my mom's camera a while back ... I wasn't there.
(I don't have a picture of their Cedar City yard, which he kept super beautiful, I remember it very well.)



2012 at my sister's wedding.


2013 with his family, his lovely bride, playing bingo, and learning a dance with his grandkids & great grandkids.




2014 with my firstborn.
This trip is the last I would see Grandpa in this life. My second born met him during this visit but unfortunately I don't have a picture of them together.
