Grandpa,
You always had such a personality. Every trip to see you, I knew that I would leave laughing so hard that I almost peed my pants. I enjoyed the times that we spent with each other and I know that you are in a better place now, without pain and with a clear mind. You are keeping the angels company with lots of laughter and fun. I’m glad you are in the presence of your loved ones that went before you. Especially your momma, as we all knew you missed her so.
Joy, I am so sorry for your loss and wish you well.

I haven’t seen JG in probably 13 years or so, that was around the time I left Weaverville. I also enjoyed being on the job site working construction with him. He was so funny and enjoyed life so much. Family, you have our prayers, he was definitely one of a kind,
