He was my grandfather and was a great man.He loved to fish and hunt in his spare time. He was always so good with us grandchildren and never raised his voice to us at all that I can remember. And trust me we all knew how to make lots of noise! He was a quiet man and I loved to walk into his house and smell the sweet smell of his pipe tobacco.
