When ever I went to his house in Canada, he would usually be sleeping. We asked our Great Grandma Finken if we could wake him up. We would climb up onto him and tickle him. When he died I cried and cried. Sometimes I do still cry when I think about him - Posted by: Melia (I am his Great grandaughter) on: May 08, 2015
