I have great memories of Grandpa I remember how we use to make Teepee in his back yard hoping that we would wake up in the morning to see a Bear or a dear sleeping in them, it never happen. or how I though it was super cool that my grandpa packed a gun, something I had to show all my friends or how he would show up at our house in his brown truck and have tons of animals in the back i.e sheep's, chickens, goats etc etc etc he was a traveling animal zoo! Grandpa is a cool guy and definitely one of a kind. I can always count on grandpa I know he will always be there for us grand kids!

As i look out the window i look to the side of me and there was grandpa with a gun pointing towards the poor baby animal. i asked him what he was doing and he said that he was going to get him some food. right before he was able to pull the trigger i yelled "RUN BAMBI RUN" .... I was not allowed in grandpas room since. I also remember how my friends would get scared when grandpa would reach over and slide his leather vest over the handle of his gun . Grandpas so cool!

Also that his working and saving and learning how to do anything he put his mind to got him his dream house. I have'nt yet told him how much I admire him, so here it is.

I seen bodies on the deck in canvas. We went to the hospital with Dad and he had his jeans rolled up at the bottom and he flicked his cigarette ashes in his pants. One of his friends was a black man and I always remembered after that day, my dad had black friends and he wasn't a racist. I remember always sharing the story about my dad surviving a shipwreck and how it was his viking blood that helped him in the cold ocean. Some of Dad's sayings are: "Root, Hog or Die" "Nothing is Guaranteed in Life" . I seen dad build his home over the years in Sheep Ranch and I have some of his trees growing in Fremont Hills. Starting a new generation of Blue Oaks. I got a good work ethic from my dad and mom. I'm a street wise okie!</p> I remember seeing Dad coming in on a small boat and he was wiping tears in his eyes.
