As a child, every summer break from school I was able to spend a one week vacation with my grandparents in Dyersville. I often remember my grandpa being in the basement, or out in the garage working away on a project. I rarely remember him working on a project for himself, he was always working on projects that would somehow benefit those close to him. Whether it be working on fixing up an old bicycle that I wanted to ride, or building something out of wood that would benefit someone other than himself, he always seemed to be working on something to help someone else that he cared about. If you asked him if he would fix something or work on something, he would never hesitate, he enjoyed helping others. I also remember many times eating nutty bars with him, both him and I really enjoyed nutty bars, which was a treat that I often did not get at home. At the end of these nights of my vacation time spent with them, we would usually huddle around the TV, either watching a movie that we rented earlier that day, or watching the Red Green Show, which was a show he very much enjoyed. He always was up for a good laugh. I will miss him so much...his sense of humor, his stories he would tell, his love for those around him.. I could go on and on. I am so lucky to have had such a caring and loving Grandpa.
