I loved to ride in the blue Ford with him and got excited on the nights he would hand out his lotto cards for us to all help check the numbers. We just knew that it would be our lucky night and always talked about what we would do with our fortunes!  He usually slipped me a five dollar bill and told me to go buy something good with it after we lost!  I adored the times I spent the night and we would sit up right before bed and eat snacks...his was usually and onion and buttermilk. He was a wonderful grandpa, made me always feel so loved with his bear hugs, I am so lucky to be his granddaugher. I hope he always knew how much he meant to all of us, what a huge impact he made in our lives. He was one of a kind and anyone who was lucky enough to be a part of his life knows exactly what I mean.
