Grandpa fought in World War II and he was on the front lines.  He even had the honor heart-wrenching jobs of opening up the gates of one of the concentration camps in Germany.

I had the honor of being by my Grandpa's side when he passed into Eternity.  It seemed like a sacred and precious moment!  I praise God that my Grandpa was a Christian and he is now in Heaven!

My dear parents!!  Below are lots more pictures of family and people at the funeral.  Even though Grandpa was 94 years when he died, we had a VERY nice service for him in honor of the great life he lived!

Grandpa's gravesite service was very special due to him being a veteran.
