I miss him so much. He was such a great man - I am so lucky to have had him in my life for so many years. I basically spent every day w/ him when I was a child since his shop where he re-built engines was next to our house. Out of all the grandkids, I got to spend the most time with him.<br /><br />One thing he&#39;d always tell me is &quot;Lisa, be careful, there are alot of jerks out there.&quot; It kind of sounds pessimistic, but it was his way of telling me to hold onto my heart until I found someone truely worthy! When he met my last boyfriend - he gave him the firm handshake and said, - &#39;you better be good to this one, she&#39;s one of my favorites!&#39; <br /><br />Grandpas are the best. We are so lucky to have had such wonderful men in our lives!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803328.post-39741700882763174332010-01-05T21:08:40.879-05:002010-01-05T21:08:40.879-05:00you are very lucky to have such a wonderful man as your grandfather :)<br /><br />I&#39;ve never had a grandfather (my paternal grandfather passed away before I was born and I know nothing about my maternal grandfather) so I love love love hearing people&#39;s stories abpout their own.thatShortChickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16288631989393793592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803328.post-63382531303515248792010-01-05T21:00:03.407-05:002010-01-05T21:00:03.407-05:00my dad is tells me to put it in second too...lol.<br />you&#39;re very lucky to have such a great grandpap! i never got to know my grandparents...only 1 of them was around when i was born and she passed 12 years ago. i would have loved to have them around, though!gemmy from the blockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02742100604288933029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803328.post-46003746623268044132010-01-05T18:20:39.031-05:002010-01-05T18:20:39.031-05:00Your grandfather sounds great!
