Grandpa Henry

My family experienced some more sad news last week with the passing of my grandpa Henry. After my grandma passed away in May, he hadn't been doing so well and had a few visits in and out of the hospital. Him and Grandma had been married for 67 years, and I think it was just too much for him to not have her here anymore.

I have great memories of him, and I know I sure made him proud when I followed in his aerospace footsteps and began working for Boeing. I heard countless stories from him about his time working there as well as for the Port of Grays Harbor. I also remember visiting him and Grandma in Aberdeen and loving to sneak into his den and sit at the huge metal engineering desk. He had all sorts of fun office stuff that I wasn't supposed to be playing with.

We'll be holding a memorial for grandpa Hank in Aberdeen on Saturday, November 3rd and his obituary was published in the Seattle Times this past Sunday.
