Grandpa Green

October 4, 1914 - September 22, 2010
We went to Grants Pass this last weekend to celebrate the life of Steve's Grandpa Green- 96 years old. The service was so lovely and we had a beautiful day. It was so great to see so many cousins we hadn't seen in a while! Grandpa always had a little twinkle in his eye and always had a smile and a hug for you. He was such a kind man who lived his life with integrity and hard work. He loved animals and would often nurse them back to health when he found them hurt. He has lived in the same house forever! He built it for grandma and we have had many family picnics and Easter egg hunts there. He loved to rebuild cars and had many old cars that he restored and acres of car parts he collected. We will miss him.Steve and his Grandma Green

Balloons were let off at the cemetary - One of the little girls said " What is Heavenly Father going to do with all those balloons! " HA cute!
It was good to see Steve's family!
