Although I am approaching 68 years old, I still often think of the grandfather I never met. I also think of my dad who grew up without his father and what a difficult situation his family endured. We are a service oriented family. We are extremely proud that a Deputy Sheriff, Firefighter, Nurse, Teacher and my military service have and continue to serve our country and community well.
Our prayers are always with you Grandpa and Dad.
