Oh where to begin…"Pawpaw" as us grandkids would call him, was the most amazing man ever. Kind hearted, loving, mountain of a man yet so gentle, outgoing, smart, and most of all my grandfather. I remember him sitting his garage and building things with his hands, you name it he built it. I loved to watch him and of course help him. I too remember Thanksgiving dinners. Him in the kitchen cooking was great. I also remember everyone in the family getting together to enjoy the dinner that he made for his family with love. After lunch we would watch the Cowboy game and some of us would gather in the kitchen and play scrabble. Then there were the ones that would just crash on the couch because they were full. I remember him taking me to the credit union with him, with the windows down and he would get really close to the curb and splash through the water that was left over from a rain, with my hand out the window of course. More importantly he was my father figure in my life for ten years. He is who I would go to, of course my mom and I lived with him and my grandmother for that time. I could go to him about anything. He was there for me when I needed him and I don't know where I would be today if it weren't for him. I wish that you didn't have to suffer for the year that you did, but I know that you had been ready for awhile to go home. Do me a favor though…Please look after my son, Braden. I miss you both so much and will see you again someday. I love you.

My memories of my Uncle Leo… – The '65 Mustang Dragster with 'Oldest Kid On The Block' across the back. Thanksgiving lunch, watching our parents play WA-HOO, Cowboy's football games, that big silly grin and laugh and did I mention Thanksgiving lunch? Seeing who could call each other the earliest on Christmas morning, Uncle Leo or my dad (and this tradition has now been taken up by me and Kim). Cooking for the church…I believe he loved this as much as anything I know. The love he showed every time he talked about one of his kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids. It was written all over his face. And last but certainly not least was the love he had for Aunt Ruby and she for him. Theirs is the kind of love everyone hopes for, but few achieve. We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you… you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

It has taken me a long time to write on this. I miss you so much pappare. I miss your talks, the wisdom you shared with my brother and I. I miss the stories you and memaw told us about our mother. You and memaw were the last link we had to our mother, now you are all gone. My family is gone. All the memories of my mother are gone. I miss you so much pawpaw! Josh and I will always miss you. We still can't even talk about you without crying or being upset. We weren't ready to have to say goodbye. But I am glad you are in heaven and with your soulmate and your daughter. Please keep watching over josh and I and our babies. We wish so much that you and memaw would have had the chance to know them. I love you pawpaw!
