My grandfather on my dad's side passed when he was just 38 from pnuemonia. My mothers dad was a hog farmer in Lamoni Iowa, that had alot of land, a few ponds, and a big garden every season. He would ALWAYS show up at the pond with an empty pan and a fillet knife, and when you got done filleting all of your catch he would take it and leave!

He always like to see me and my brother and my cousins kill deer and turkeys off that ole farm. This is to you Pappy I will always love you and Grandma, and will always cherish those moments when everything was so simple and cool!!
