So we didn't do our usual trip to Herriman to have breakfast with the Lions club and then go the the cemetaries with Chris' family. (His dad's side settled Herriman so it's a tradition that we've never missed except for this year.)
But we did make our annual trip out to the cemetary to visit Chris' Dad's Grave.
I couldn't help but snap some picture's of him with our kids. Every year as we go to the cemetary our kids ask questions about Grandpa Marty. This year they asked lot's. So Chris told them some of his favorite memories about his Dad. ( He tells them often and with tears in his eyes) So here are a few that I remember and some he told the kids:
He always carried a roll of Tums in his pocket. He always had the best candy stash. He always wrestled with him. He took the kids on the Deer Hunt every year. (Chris' Favorite Memory) Every time Chris put's on a tool belt or goes to one of the 5 gallon bucket's that his Dad used for tools and supplies you can see a tear in his eye because it reminds him of his Dad. He always keeps a wad of receipts just like his dad did. ( just not as many.) His dad was a great drywaller and was very very strong.
