I had never had the misfortune of reading an obituary before… I didn’t know they were so brief. Beyond that summary, my grandfather was an incredible person that helped so many people, was so intelligent and kind. He always put a smile on the face of all the family, protected us, and fed us grandkids a healthy amount of ice cream :). You could hear him singing often around the house. He knew so many songs I could never keep up! He was passionate about so many avenues of life. Teaching being a big one, but also reading, fishing, nature, singing, travel, his wife and family, and his many projects. My grandparents had the strongest relationship I’ve personally seen in my life and I’ve always looked up to them immensely. My grandmother would tell me little stories about how my grandfather always bought her flowers on every special occasion and even just as a surprise. He was the first in his family to go to college and worked his way through school and he encouraged all his kids and grandkids to go as well. I will remember him as the man he was…
This is Janice Cox, Rachel's mom...so sorry to hear about your loss....I know it hurts...I remember your dad as a very nice, welcoming person. Take care, Laura
