On Sunday February 17th, 2013 we lost one of the world's greatest guys ever, Papa (Josh's Grandpa). We were so very saddened by this news, but there were no regrets. We got to spend a lot of time with him and we are so thankful for that. Papa is one of the best guys I have ever met. He was always the jokester. He could come up with a joke about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! Whenever he was around there were lots and lots of smiles. Papa was also quick to serve. If anyone needed help, neighbors, family, friends or even strangers, he was the first one there and of course with his handsome smile! He LOVED being around people no matter what it meant. He not only was the first to be there to help, but he did it so willingly and made it much more fun. Papa was a very intelligent man. He could remember things better than anyone I have ever met. He was Josh's best friend and biggest example. For this I am FOREVER grateful. He taught him many things and helped shaped him into the wonderful man he is today. Josh and I were able to get married on Papa and Grandma's 50th anniversary. They both were so excited about this, as were Josh and I, and we are so excited to be able to share our anniversary with two of the greatest and selfless people that I know. I am so grateful for our knowledge that families WILL be together forever. We love and miss you Papa and look forward to seeing you again!!
