Me with my dad's long time Midland Reformed Church friend Dalt Decker.The sixth good thing about my dad was that he was a humble man. He only had an eighth grade education but had understanding of how to make people feel comfortable and appreciated. I was reminded of this again as I listened to a recording of tributes that people shared at his funeral and reread cards that were sent. There were numerious people who shared what a valuable friend my dad was because he was so easy to relate with.

Wendy stayed with Dad in the PM while I went to town. She called because his speech was slurred and he was agitated and not able to move his legs/feet. It was a long night-dad didn't settle until 4 AM.

There are so many ways I wish I could be like Grandpa and that is one of the first I think of. He was able to relate to people no matter their age or education.
