Who I Admire
I admire my grandfather. He always is so kind to me and my parents. He frequently teaches me new things about his farm. He always makes me feel like I'm a pleasure to have as company. He always shows a caring and humble attitude. Whenever something goes wrong, he won't hold a grudge. I've noticed how kind he can be, for instance during the summer when visitors come over, he asks them if they want some peaches or watermelons from his garden. When he has poor people working in his orchard he brings food and water out to them at lunch. Sometimes he'll even give them stuff he doesn't need anymore, such as clothes, tools, or seeds. What really surprises me is that when neighbors in the "vicinity" have troubles my grandfathers lays off what he is doing to help them. I think that is the way a real friend should be.

Why I created this website
I wanted to show my love and respect for Daddy on this Father's Day. He was the most caring and loving father anyone could ever have.
I appreciated the example he set for all of us and for the life he lived. He always taught us to be kind to others and to love each other. God and his family were the most important things in his life.

He was always the life of the party and he had the ability to enjoy himself no matter where he was. He seemed to never meet a stranger. He could talk to the flight attendant on the plane as easily as the farmer at the feed store. He loved traveling to new places and would go every chance he got. Of course everywhere we took him he always had to check out the crops growing and the cattle. We went to Hawaii and he couldn't stay out of the pineapple fields.
