Auf wiedersehen Opa!



Today is a sad day for the entire family. At Midnight, our Grandfather, Edmund Weiss passed away at age 86. He was truly a great man who would make a friend in everyroom he entered. He was always light hearted, and never missed a moment to make someone smile.


I have many great memories of him, and I will do my best to share a few...


Every Sunday when we would head to church, Grandpa would drive wearing his derby cap, and signing some song that never rang a bell with me, but Grandma would join in and sing the harmony.


Watching old school pro wrestling on the TV and after every absurd stunt hearing Grandpa say "Da Hell??"


Playing catch with Grandpa at Becky's graduation party. Even with an old arm that hadn't thrown for many years, he still did his best to muster up enough strength to throw a few times, and even show Becky how to throw a curveball. I never knew how much he liked baseball until that day.


and those are just a few of them....


Grandpa, you will be forever missed!
