Dear Granddad,
Paul and I were talking and reminiscing about you the other day. Some of our best memories of our childhood were spent playing at the farm. We remembered things such as you letting us both shoot our first rifle. We also remember the time you took us hunting and how we scared away the deer. Looking back, we realized that you were mad, but you didn’t show it. While it appeared that you were always busy doing chores etc., you always seemed to enjoyed our company.
Your work ethic, how to raise a family, and many other traits were passed down from you to our father…for that we thank you.
We both wish we could have known you better and heard more amazing stories about the things you had done throughout your life, but we think you would have felt as if you were bragging, and you were truly a humble man.
We wish that we could have attended your memorial, but know that you will be in our thoughts and prayer. You were truly a great man and hopefully we can honor your memory by following in your footsteps.
Love always,
Your Grandsons
We will miss Jimmy dearly and are lucky to have had him in our lives and more importantly to know he was always there for Mom/Olive. They shared a deep love for each other. He will always be in our hearts.
