LATER YEARS
In Grandpa’s later years he loved riding his scooter around
everywhere, flagging, driving around for no reason, and spending
time with me. He would ride his scooter down to the shop and cuss
the men out if they weren’t working hard enough. He would go
flagging and go run in for parts with Brandy all the time. Brandy
and he would go driving around a lot just to get out and hang out.
According to my mother Grandpa adored me. He had Justin, my
father; weld a “hitch” on to the back of his scooter to hook my
wagon onto. He would drag me around for hours we both loved it.
He spent his last years close with his family. Grandpa passed in
2003. He had gum cancer then surgery removed it and he got
pneumonia which took his life.
