Eulogy
听听 For those of you who don,t know, the 7 individuals standing up
here comprise the luckiest set of grandchildren and great grand-
children in the world... and we want to talk about how he
touched our lives.
听听 We don鈥檛 need to tell you that our grandpa was the greatest,
kindest, gentlest, loving and genuine man that ever lived. But he
also had a wonderful sense of humor. From spitting out his den-
tures at us, fart cassettes, to his catch phrase of 鈥淐all me any-
thing, just don鈥檛 call me late for dinner鈥� . He always had a smile
on his face, and he always made sure we did as well.
听听 Nothing was more important to our grandpa than his family,
and even more than that, his soul mate. Our grandmother. This
storybook romance started over 60 years ago, it is evident they
were in love as much, if not more today., as they were from the
very beginning. Something that is symbolized by both of their
outfits today. Him in his wedding suit. Her in her going away out-
fit. Grandma know, that no matter how far away he may be, your
Unty Bunty will always be by your side and in your heart.Their
marriage was a picture perfect relationship that we all look up to
and strive for. Even talking on the phone... it was never just to
either grandpa or grandma, it was always both. As they did
everything in their life, they did it together.
听听 Pa loved many things in this life from playing horse shoes, to
fishing, to camping at Woodlawn, and he was a master at crib.
We still think he was cheating, but we didn鈥檛 care. He loved to
travel. Going to Phoenix, Disneyland, Mexico, Jamaica, The
Maritimes, driving through the U.S., B.C. and their grand trip to
Europe. But how do you remember our grandpa without thinking
of Volkswagens. From working on them, owning them, to just
loving them. Volkswagens became synonymous with our grand-
pa and they will forever be a fixture in our family.
听听 This was the hardest thing we鈥檝e ever had to write because in
end no words can truly describe what this man meant to us and
how we speak for everyone in this room when we say
that.Grandpa, we love you lots.
