I have memories from early on of visiting Grandma & Grandpa at their house in Rochester, before they moved to the farm. I always loved getting to go to the farm! Loved playing croquet, watching the adults play horseshoes, swimming or boating or fishing in the pond, pumping water, wagon rides behind the tractor, the uncles’ tree house in the woods, the organ in the living room, the Classics Illustrated, watching my parents and the aunts and uncles playing Euchre, fish fries in the grill by the pond, ice skating on the pond… so many memories!
Grandpa’s laugh is one of my favorite memories. I can still hear it when I think about the good times spent with him. I know he was loved and I know he’ll be missed.
