Honestly, there's too many...
Must I only choose one? His tenderness when I was a child will always not be forgot. His teachings on how a man should be and WHO a man should be are still bestowed.
His smile, his sterness.... Both together are a memory never to be forgotten.
Strength is not only in your hands or arms, but in your heart, and those you hold in your arms.
His legacy continues not only from his skills and knowledge, but also his love and compassion to all.
I miss you grampa. Jayden and Aidan do as well. They greatly miss you, as do I. I've returned to the upholstery trade and have been honoring your teachings. Jayden has even taken some of the knowledge you passed on to me. Not even her first 5 minutes on a sewing machine and she's running it as well as I can. You would be so proud. We miss you. And wish you were still here. You were the not only the glue that held the family together, but the stitches that binded us together. You are missed in more ways than you may have ever imagined and loved so much more. We'll meet again with arms wide open.
Uncle Frank, it was such a pleasure to know you. Your humorous quips, friendly smile and perpetual twinkle in your eye always made it such a treat to visit you on Putnam St. You must've been an exemplary Airedale because everyone knew you to be an incredibly hard worker, but you never seemed to let any of that get in your way. It was your resolve to take life as it came, and to never be troubled, even in the hardships. Your happy disposition will always provide a beacon of hope to me when life gets in my way. Thanks for all the memories, including the uber competitive bumper pool games in the basement! God bless you! May you spend eternity with all your loved ones.
Franklin Emick was my grandfather. He was the most patient, loving, hard-working, and generous man I've ever known. I'm so grateful to have had him as my grandfather, and I've learned so much from him. I will always love him and miss him.
