Grandpa Joe's in heaven, but his memories are much alive!

Grandpa Joe entered heaven on Friday night at age 91. He was ready to once again join his wife! Tim was a lot closer to his Grandpa than most people are with their's. Tim was given his lawn mower quite some time ago and used it to cut our lawn. Even though it looked like it was from the 50's and Tim had to go over it about 10 times literally to cut our lawn, it was his Grandpa's, and just didn't want to part with it. Tim's learned more from his Grandpa than anyone I've ever known and is often reminded of so many of those things. I'm often amazed at all the things that Tim can make, fix and do, and his Grandpa Joe is a very big reason for that (his dad too of course). When Tim and I were just dating, Grandpa Joe and his wife drove all the way to Troy (45 minutes) to come watch me play a soccer game. Although they probably didn't think much of it, I have always thought that was pretty unbelievable. He'll be really missed by so many, but what a wonderful life!
