He was in the Navy. He was an anesthesiologist for 35 years. He was the county coroner for 32 years. He was a friend to anyone he met. He was a devoted and loving father to my mom and uncle. He was a perfect match, a husband, and a constant friend to my grandma, Munki, for over 60 years.
He was loved by his community. People waited in line at his visitation for almost 2 hours to pay their respects. 2 hours. Can you imagine such a thing?!?
He was a great great man.
He was so many things to so many people, but to me he was and always will be my Papaw.
Ashli, I am very sorry to hear about your loss, my sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klaudia.
DeleteI think it always feels too soon, no matter how old or when that happens. I think it's so cool that your grandparents were able to be at your wedding, and have gotten to know your kids. Bob and I collectively have one grandparent left, so I certainly appreciate how special both of those things are and how wonderful all of the time you do get with your grandparents is. I'm really sorry for your loss, and I've been thinking about you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne. It is always hard to say good bye, no matter the circumstances. And I have a ton of great memories, so there are no regrets.
DeleteSo sorry about your grandpa. I know how close you were with him. It is never easy to lose a grandparent. Will be praying for your grandma.
