Grandpa Friend, you are and will forever remain in my heart as first, the amazing Grandpa you were for me and others; second, as a man with pure and truthful ways that will forever influence and set the example for life's trials and tribulations in it's best way for anyone that was privileged to have met or even crossed paths with you. ........and now I know that now your work is done here on Earth and that you are back with my Grandma Friend! Grandpa, you will forever be in part, remembered for your fishing trips that created some of the best memories back on the farm. I remember you loading all of us kids up and pulling us down to the Elk River, Mound Ridge and even the family farm pond where I have the most memories of all! Thank you Grandpa...........and rest in peace!
