Grandpa

My grandfather passed away on November 23rd 2010...He was a truly an amazing man...He laughed and played and always had a smile on his face...He was hard to anger and therefore always a pleasant man to be around...If you ever did anger him though he would tell you how it was and then it would be over...He was never one to hold a grudge...He loved anything he did with his wife of nearly 50 years...They would play cards every night and watch movies...When she went shopping he was happy to wait for her in the car and read a good book...He loved books and even enjoyed writing...He wrote two novels...I am looking forward to getting them published for him...He loved the water also...If he was on a boat fishing or just helping his kids with their poles and then cooking what they caught...He was a great painter and has many paintings that touch all of us...His favorite subject was his hometown of Key West and lighthouse scenes...His last want in this world was to move closer to the water and live out the rest of his days with my grandmother near the water and fishing....Although he is gone his lessons and spirit will live on through us and i will never let him fade from memory...R.I.P. to my grandfather Eddy Garcia
