Grandpa Candy
Grandpa Candy wasn’t his real name but when we said Grandpa Candy in our house everybody knew who we were talking about. Here are some of Grandpa Candy’s great traits:
1. Never knew a lemon drop he didn’t like
2. Kept a note book in his left chest pocket for notes like, today’s temperature, recent precipitation, who had a baby, and who won at Bingo.
3. Loved Sauerkraut Day & all the people who came to celebrate while eating it.
4. Taught me important German phrases like, v-gates, oiy oiy oiy, and mocks good.
5. Laughed (like me) many times in the middle of a good joke, missing the punch line.
6. Took coffee time very seriously, a required task.
7. Called everyone by name, cuz he could.
8. Said "if a car is due for an oil change –maybe it’s time to trade it off."
9. He once owned a bar, a gas station, a car dealership, and a farm, not in that order.
10. Had a sparkle in his eye, a smirk in his smile and a giggle in his giggle box.
