Grandpa was fun to be around. He always made me smile. The thing I remember most about him was that he always wore a suit, tie & hat. He loved to listen to the Tigers baseball games on the radio,he would sit at the dining room table and play solitare while listening to the game. When he had cereal for breakfast he would mix several kinds together in his bowl before pouring on the milk. Most of all I remember he smoked cigars and a pipe. To this day the smell of cigar smoke brings back memories of my Grandpa.
