Even though we were not super close the only thing you ever were to me was grandpa Ken. Every memory I have of you is a good one. From the house with the birds in the cages, to you and Fran sitting at Waffle House and talking about Harley’s and stuff, or playing on the pool table in your garage. I used to look for motorcycles around town wondering if they were you. Ride hard grandpa! Love always, Sabrina
