91~7
We are so blessed to have Grandpa ~ His has been described recently as the Greatest Generation and I agree 100%. This man was orphaned in his early teens, was unable to continue school because he didn't have 35 cents to buy his english book. He lost his parents and two siblings to TB, made a caree of the Coast Guard, came to know a man named Jesus, and has lived a godly life since.
He loves to remember stories of his times on the ocean. He made Chief Boatsman Mate at the age of 23, unheard of in his day. He and his wife raised two beautiful boys, they were blessed with five grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren.
He has always shown me un-conditional love...I am so blessed to be his grand-daughter.
