I’m really grateful for the time that I got to spend with my pawpaw Bob. He built me a flying squirrel trap , and he got to see me take my first deer. Also we got
to have a little camping trip with him a few months before he passed away and we went fishing and cooked over the fire every day! I really miss him and can’t wait for the new earth so that we can see him after the resurrection

I have so many good memories growing up having Dad teach me to shoot a gun , hunting and fishing together, and learning to be a man, husband and a father. There will definitely be a giant hole in our hearts and we are going to miss him dearly!
