    Papa taught me how to play pool and change a car headlight.
    He didn’t talk much about his naval service, but when I wrote about it for a VFW contest in middle school he still showed up to the recitation.
    I love you. 🥰 I miss you.

    Papa taught me how to play pool and change a car headlight.
    He was always here for us when we needed him. Quiet, but encouraged me.

  19. Gavin Dinning on March 13, 2023 at 11:50 am

    I wish I could have known him better, overtime I came over to his house to help him around the house he always put a smile on my face, and made me laugh. He always made me feel like I was his own grandson.



  20. Melanie "Birdie" Hurst on March 13, 2023 at 11:54 am

    I miss him so so so much and I wish he was still here with us. I miss sitting in his little living room watching westerns or cartoons. He will always be my favorite always and forever, love you pops.



  21. Pennie, Alex and Isla Tajiboy on March 13, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    There are no words to express the sadness in our heavy hearts. Pops was truly one in a million, our cute grumpy little grizzly bear. I loved the grumpy way he said “yeah me too” when I said I love you Pops. I loved how he was present at every thing big and small in my life. I loved that he loved my baby girl, his little Dr. and how he tried to learn Spanish to talk to Alex. Love you Pops



  22. Caleb Dinning on March 13, 2023 at 1:35 pm

    Even though I did not really know him he was always be in my heart.



  23. Jamie Q Hurst on March 13, 2023 at 1:45 pm

    He was the Best Great Grandpa ever. He was super grumpy but it was funny and thats one of the things that made him special. It was super fun when we shot BB guns with uncle Cj and Papi and Xander and Melanie. I love him so does everyone else. I wish I could see and talk to him one more time. But at least I know that he is just sleeping and I will see him again in paradise.



  24. Brenda Cummer on March 13, 2023 at 2:53 pm

    I didn’t know your parents very well, Lisa, but because of both of your parents, I have you as a friend. What a wonderful blessing that has been. You & your family have been in our prayers. May Jehovah keep you sustained during this difficult time. We look forward to you in May! Love you all!
