Grandpa, you are remembered every year for your courage and the family has carried your history because your daughter had presence of mind to save all the newspaper material that documented that horrible day. You are not just someone we imagine. We know you thru Grandma and her love for you and we continue to share your ultimate gift to community every May and in our own works within the community thru jobs and service. We are so proud of you. You are remembered by us all. Lovingly, Patty
