Grandpa Great finished his Earthly Journey on 4.21.18
He was 1 month shy of 91 years young,
and we just know he was welcomed into heaven
by Jesus and Grandma Ida saying, "Come In, Come In, Come In!"
That was her standard greeting no matter who had arrived at the farm.
Grandpa lived for farming season year after year and his family.
He will be greatly missed on the home place this planting season
and that Gator won't make as many trips to the field watching the action this year.
We had a nice day of visitation and a day to celebrate Grandpa Great's life
the day of the funeral.
This boy was looking extra handsome.
Grandma Jean made his bow tie!
Sam has passed me up.
It's pretty darn official.
Sam likes to tease Ms. Shaylee
My guys looking handsome.
The original Graber cousins.
And the Graber Great Grands!
What a legacy Grandpa Ezra and Grandpa Ida created!
Thankful for that!
I'd prefer to remember Grandpa Great
sitting in this seat. This was one of his last times in a tractor (2013?).
His last harvest in the combine was 2012.
But, he still was ever present poking a fixing where needed -
Fall 2017
And directing from the sidelines
in the Gator (with Joe)
We are rejoicing that Grandpa Great has reached his eternal resting place!
