Dear Keri and Greg & families, My deepest condolences in the loss of your Dad - a wonderful, kind, and gentle man. I remember your Dad as a quiet man who very much enjoyed and was appreciative and grateful for the important things in life - family, friends, nature, food and laughter. He was always there with support and happy to help anyone in need. He was very intelligent and creative and he loved to make unique items from scraps and he could fix anything. Grandma Gertie loved him - they enjoyed each other’s company. My friend Paul and I still talk about being at my mom Gertie’s place once and your Mom and Dad dropped in. Gertie asked Layton if he wanted a roast beef sandwich and he immediately asked in a sweet, excited way “hot beef?”. It was so cute and priceless. Of course he enjoyed a hot beef sandwich. It didn’t take much to make him happy. I regret that I didn’t get to spend more time in his presence … his simple quiet ways did inspire me. Blessed knowing that your Dad will be joining your Mom and Grandma Gertie as well as other loved ones. Thank you for caring for him and giving him back the love he so deserved. Much love, hugs, thoughts and prayers to you at this difficult time.
Aunt Sue
