What a MAN

So...Most of you know, Clint's Grandpa passed away Saturday morning.  Out of the blue!!  That's right, 88 years old and we didn't think he was going anywhere for a while!!  At 88, he still drove, he cycled @ 3 miles a day, has a facebook, emails, is a great grandfather and would have a beer every now and then. Considering he never made it past the 8th grade; he was an inventor, a veteran of WWII, a Christian, a member of the original 'Hells Angels' and a great Family man.

                         Four Generations of Friesen Boys... (4 generations of bikers??) :) October trip.

His visit in October was very special to all of us. He was with it!! He was cleared by the doctor to fly from Washington state to our home (Destin) for two weeks!!  Keep in mind, he's had multiple knee replacements among other health issues but overall healthy! He ONLY used his walker going to and from the doctor so he wouldn't get haggled. haha!
I will never forget Grandpa Dan.  He always said 'I love you'.  He always sent Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas, Easter, etc cards ON TIME.  He was always on the move "I cant sit too long".  His Faith was very important to him.  I think we all have learned how special he was to us even though he was so far away!!  May you Rest in Peace and watch over us till the day we meet again....
