Describing Grandaddy in one paragraph is impossible because he was so many things to so many different people. To his family he was the center around which we all orbited. The heart and soul of all of us and he will be deeply missed. In the end, he was a good man whose company was enjoyed by practically all who met him. We loved him very much and we always will.
