I am 58, never knew dad's dad. I was 3 when he was killed. Was a Mich farmer, not farm related was murdered for the wad of cash he always carried . Mom's dad lived in Arkansas, [another farmer], saw him 3 or 4 weeks a year and spent a couple summers there, mostly fishing and squirrel hunting in the fall. He has been gone 20 yrs. Lost my dad in 1990 at 58. And his brother at 58 three yrs earlier. Yeah I miss his wit and wisdom and what I didn't learn or could have. I spun the bearings in our vw powered buggy at 13. Made me take it apart and repair, never got mad. Just said, you broke you are going to fix it. Been a gearhead ever since. But still miss him. Just really got close again after divorce in 1976. He was someone who could fix just about anything. At about 14 I got all the car repairs with him standing guard over my shoulder. Hated it then but now really appreciate the time spent and wish I could have had a lot more. Dad's favorite was " if you are going to do it, don't do it half a$$ed, do it right".
