Grandpa...

I have so many wonderful memories of my grandfather. He truly was an unbelievable man who was full of love. Grandpa wouldn't want us to be sad on the day of his funeral, but its hard not to be. The world lost a great man. I wanted to share some stories. Stories that will hopefully bring a smile to your face. This is how I will remember my grandpa... Story 1: He was a serious man. A man on a mission, but dedicated to his work... Grandpa was the custodian at my fathers company. One day Grandpa was upset at the guys in the mail room. They weren't paying attention to his signs. Literally he had signs up everywhere. He came into my fathers office and looked at my dad with a dead serious face when my dad was on the phone with a client. He then says "Dennis....those bastids...I put up signs and I warned them. Those bastids downstairs won't finish the roll of toilet paper!" He then began to unwind the toilet paper to show my dad there were a good 2-3 servings left. Who could blame the guy, he grew up in the depression. He truly appreciated everything he had and would never waste anything!
