Going out to the barn and watching the horses out in the pasture as well as a few rides here and there, are some of my strongest memories I have with my grandpa growing up. I also cherish the childhood memories I have of our annual gatherings at Christmas with the entire family as well as watching my kids play in the living room with their vintage fisher price toys when we would visit. The joy on his face hearing about my kids love of tractors and horses I will always cherish. Rest in Heaven, Grandpa… We love you and miss you.

We are so heavy hearted to hear of Juniors passing. My memories of him being such a very kind man. Welcoming me into his home and putting up with our shenanigans when I hung out with Leslie after school. My wish is that the many memories that you made with Junior, while he was on this earth, will ease the pain of him leaving. Thinking and praying for all of you. I love you all! Rest in Peace Junior.
