It would be impossible to do justice to nearly 86 years in this short space so, for now, I will just let everyone know that he was the best grandpa anyone could have had.
His 86th Birthday would have been in a couple of weeks, on June 31st. Here is the video from his last birthday. When we called on our way, we asked him where he wanted to eat. We had been assuming Olive Garden as it was his favorite restaurant. However, he surprised us with Bob Evans. This caused a bit of a panic as they don't have any embarassing songs or entertainment. Thankfully, when we got to the house, he told us that he changed his mind and wanted Olive Garden instead. Unfortunately, in order to keep the element of surprise, I couldn't start recording until they were at the table. Missing from the beginning is, "I'm gonna get you for this."
The obituary and funeral arrangements can be found at Schneider Funeral Home.

Oh Derek, those pictures are amazing. And, that video is priceless. Thank you for sharing, and for being there for Grandpa. He was lucky to have you as his grandson.
So sorry to hear about the passing of your grandpa, Derek. You could tell how much he adored his grandkids and how much you guys loved him! We'll be thinking about you guys!
