Best Grandpa a grand kid could ask for. Always loved it when family or friends came to visit. Always made time for you. I'm going to miss being able to talk to him and, listen to (mostly) terrible dad jokes. He'd always wait until you'd laugh (you'd just do it to get it over with) Sitting at grandma and, grandpa's kitchen table with a braunschweiger and onion with mayo on rye. With a ice cold high life (or two) listening to a Brewers game on a Saturday or Sunday. He taught me the simple pleasures are the best. I'm going to miss you Grandpa. When I see you again you got the first round.
