I traveled to his house to ask for the hand of his daughter, Beckie, in marriage. I was nervous, he was amused. He said something like, "Well she's pretty high strung, better you than me". I took that to be a yes. Over the years, I've learned many truisms that I often repeat and credit to him. One of them is, "If you always eat your best or favorite foods first, you'll always be eating your best/favorite foods". When I spent time with him at the end of June, I asked him, what he'd do differently if he were earlier in his life and he replied, "start running earlier in life and run more".
Grandpa, I will miss your wry humor, engaging smile and interest in eating healthy foods and exercise. Love, Alan Kearl less
