I just love that picture. It tells something about the subject.
The picture is one of my favorites, Pam. It shows a young man full of love for his family and others. He was a gentle soul and I miss him even today.
What an awesome photo. I can't help but think that someone will run across this entry sometime and find it's the person they are looking for...How are you related to him?
He is my grandpa. I went to live with him and my grandma when I was ten. He was the sweetest man on earth, along with my father and my uncle Raymond! He was my mother's father. Thanks, JoLyn, for your sweet comments.
I'm so glad to know - every once in awhile there's a picture that just says so much. This is one of them!
What a wonderful picture, thank you for sharing!
