Six word memoir: My Grandpa

He never once met a stranger.

Dipsy-doodle pitches in whiffle ball games.

Mr. Bear stories whispered under blankets.

Front porch swinging, visiting with neighbors.

Foot rubs, Jeopardy, Notre Dame. Passions.

Rosary praying, Communion taking, Faithful servant.

Best Grandpa, Dad, Husband, Friend -- Man.

Peaceful passing. Dearly missed. Never forgotten.

  1. A beautiful tribute to your grandfather! He sounds like a wonderful man. Great idea to put together a series of 6-word memoirs to honor him and capture your memories.
