My grandpa was one of the strongest men I've ever known his personality reminds me of his favorite animal the elephant.  Majestic durable,intimidating, intelligent kind gentle and caring are just a few words could use to describe him,  He was a fighter battling cancer throughout his life I surviving a broken neck I heartattack and his grandchildren.  If you made him angry he'd be sure to tell you and if you asked for an ear he'd give you his good one.  He was everything you could ask for in a grandfather and I wish I had told him that He could be serious at times and still laugh at himself I admire his spirit He spent his life providing for his family & friends all the memories the birthdays christmases thanksgivings could never explain how much he meant to all of us. whether he was in the garage dremelling feet fishing on his boat or building a project around the house he was always passionate about everything he did. His death is not just a loss to me it is a loss to everyone that got to share his life with him, He was so strong it was like nothing could ever bring him down. He was patient/ hardworking and the kind of man I'd like to be. It was an honour knowing you grandpa and wherever you are I wish you the best. Your memory will live on in our hearts.
