I can not say any words that would show the way this man I have never met has affected my life, if just by know his grandson hunter if he is any reflection of what kind of man he was I’d have been very proud to have known him I know he is a very proud grandfather and that he was very fortunate to have such a grandson as hunter I feel blessed to know this young man and to hear his stories about his grandfather really makes me admire a man I have never met. Godspeed may our lord smile upon you and welcome you home with your loved ones
