- I have to think hard to remember a time I heard him complain about anything.
- When he had the chance to move to Samoa, he took it. (Despite having a very young family of five.)
- He made sure we had a boat so we could have something we could do together as a family.
- He can quote large portions of Joseph Smith history and certain sections of D&C.
- He is a walking encyclopedia with extensive sections in (transmissions, cars, gospel, church history, general wisdom, morals, family management.)
- He followed the personal revelation that he should serve a mission despite not being an active member of the church in his youth.
- He was a powerful, effective, compassionate, and forward-thinking missionary.
- No matter how big or small, he has always risen to the occasion and magnified his church calling.
- He is a great leader.
- He grew up in Southern California in the 1950's. (Okay, maybe this one is more envy than admire.)
- He is his kids and grand kids' biggest fan.
- He is amazing with Abby, it is so fun to watch them interact.
- He always makes a big deal out of his kids' birthdays.
- I've learned from experience that he will always be MUCH stronger than I am.
- He always has time to help, or listen, or just relax together.

Great list, Jess. Did you try to beat Dad up one time? Is that how you know he's stronger? I know he's stronger because he opened up a jar of salsa that was IMPOSSIBLE.
Amen. Dad is great!! He bought us Trix and white bread!!
I'm pretty sure he can fix ANYTHING!
I've attempted to wrestle him on a few occasions, and it was no contest.
I love how he takes his grandkids waterskiing and never gives up trying to teach me how to single ski. :)
I'm a lucky girl.
I agree. One hundred percent. Grandfather is one of those people who everyone feels lucky to know. He always makes me feel like a million bucks.
