We are so fortunate to live so close to Grandpa and have him in our lives. Our sons and their wives feel the same about this "Great" Grandfather. Grandpa has taught us to always live in the present and look to the future. Not only is it a privilege to have him as a Grandfather, but to have worked along side him on our farm has been an honour. May his longevity live on in our family. Hats off to you Kathy–what a great idea for Grandpa.

In fact, we are staying with them as I write this. Ron has told us a great deal about his dad. Quite an inspiration! I am nowhere near his age but heading that way. People such as he are my heroes.

He has been an inspiration to me over the years and I hope to have half his energy when I am close to his age. Thanks for the effort of putting this together for Dad.
