Grandpa Norman

Last Wednesday Ben's Grandpa Norman passed away. He died after an awful car accident that also took the life of a teenager. It has been a sad week. One of the things Ben loved most about going home was being able to hunt or fish with Grandpa. He will be sorely missed. There were so many people at the funeral to celebrate his life and honor his memory. I think he was a very lucky man to have so many people who cared so much about him.

Norman was a volunteer fireman for many years and he got his last ride in an antique fire engine at his funeral Monday. He would have loved that. Norman was a great man who leaves us with so many great memories, stories, smiles, and love.
