We'll miss you, Grandpa

I have been extremely fortunate in growing up as I got to spend many wonderful summers and weekends with my grandparents. My first experience in a boat, baiting a hook and wading in the ocean was all courtesy of my wonderful grandfather, Grandpa. Sadly he passed away last night but I will remember him for his dry sense of humor, work ethic and pride in his family.
