BLAKE'S STORY:
To know my grandfather was to
know an angel in the flesh. He deeds
outweighed his faults ten fold. I'm not
sure if had a goal in life, but it would seem the only thing he honestly cared
about was to see someone else happy.
Many times I have seen him go to great lengths to make a stranger smile.
Julian Prance was a man who had his on
little world and only a few knew of this place.
He chose to live like this for what reasons I do not know. I think, Robert Frost wrote the poem
"THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED" to help us understand people like my
grandfather. "Two roads diverged in
a wood, I chose the one less traveled by, and that made all the difference". That was my Grandpaw to a "T".
I remember times with him to be
adventurous, fun, and educational. There are so many memories I have but the
one that sticks out the most in my mind is a trip we took to Uncle Tommy's
house, (he was Grandpaw's best friend in the world). They introduced me to rodeo - bare back
riding on the infamous "Bull Goat" - with a billy goat. They taught me to shoot the Big Gun, and the
all famous face to face encounter with a dead alligator head. These stories were heard by many, but were
best told by the Master Minds themselves.
My grand-paw, the best friend I've ever
had. My mother used to tell me I was his
favorite. However, we had a bond that
allowed us to share many secrets. The
truth of it is that his daughter (my mom) was his true love. When we were together, he would always tell
me stories of her and the things that he wanted for her. He always said he "owes her more than he
would ever give her." I never knew
what he meant by that, maybe she does.
Jodie's Story:
Thank you for joining us here
today to pay respects for my grandpa.
This is a quick message to my
mom, my grandpa's only child. Mom if
there is one truth that all parents much embrace sooner or later, it is that no
matter how much you love your children, there comes a time when you must in
some form or fashion let them go. Let
them spread their wings and fly.
Eventually the child must learn the same thing. When a parent dies, we do not say good-bye as
much as we release them from our continuing need for their love and
confirmation. I just wanted to let you
know that whatever happens through the course of our lifetimes, I am here in
this world and I love you as deeply as I know love.
No event in my life has been so
devastating. This world feels so empty
without Grandpa here. It is really
strange how I never knew just how much space my Grandpa occupied in my world
until the day I lost him, the day of the
big void.
My first image of my Grandpa is
that of a man who is strong, sensitive, hard working, stubborn, big sense of
humor, happy, and truly the most generous, kind hearted, giving person I have
ever in my life known. My Grandpa made
the meaning of giving so real to me. He
gave unconditionally. He gave and
expected absolutely nothing in return. But to see a person smile. A smile to my grandpa was more rewarding
than anything a person could have given him in return. There aren't many people in this world have
this type of disposition. My Grandpa was
one of a kind. He was easily taken advantage of by people
who would continuously take and never give back.
For instance:
Ex: Gave his house to a little barmaid.
Ex: Gave his truck to a lady at the gas station.
Ex: Bought me two cars and he didn't even have a
dependable car of his own.
To sum it up in a nut shell he
would literally give his shirt off his back to help a person in times of need
and even took it a step further.
I honestly believe that when my
Grandpa loved most about life was people and the chance to befriend them in
their time of need, to ease their pain even though it magnified his own. As much as he loved to give he could not
stand to be given to in return.
Ex: Taking him to dinner for his B-Day at
Bennigans where they sung for him. He
would have crawled beneath the table if he could fit! He never came around after that on his
birthdays.
Grandpa enjoyed being outside,
playing games with my mom, debating with my mom just trying get her to outsmart
him, he loved giving to people to working and singing these silly tunes. He enjoyed spending time with his
animals. He was a good auctioneer. He loved to meet new people and tell stories.
Grandpa was a mysterious old
man. He didn't tell me much about his
past. The one story he told quiet often
about his childhood was about
Ex: Tommy,
his brother, cut his finger off and the chicken ate it! He used to tell this story to kids who were
putting their finger in their mouth or nose.
He was a very free spirited
man. He was the type of person who may
live with us for 8 months and then leave and you wouldn't hear from him for two
years. All of a sudden you would get a
knock at the door and there he was cute as can be standing there like a little
child who was in trouble but you just couldn't get mad at him because he smiled
so big as if he knew what he had done was wrong. The times that we all spent together were so
special and made such a huge impact on our lives because he made sure that we
knew without a doubt how much he loved us.
He could have been gone for years and within a day it was like we had
never lost a minute of time together.
Then when it came time for him to move on, you were never really sure
when you would see him again but we were more than assured of his love for
us. I remember when he lived with us
when I was in high school. He didn't
sleep much because of his breathing and I was always up about 4:00 in the
morning to study. I would walk into the
kitchen and see him dozing off at the kitchen table with his cup of coffee
waiting on me to get up and visit with him.
By this time he had already gone to the store and bought donuts.
Ex: His fear of me going into labor - having the
baby with him there alone.
My grandpa had a religious side
to him as well. He did not believe in
organized religion but he did believe in his God. He could read scriptures in the Bible off the
top of his head that would just shock most people who knew him. They never suspected him to be so
knowledgeable of the Bible. Although we all make mistakes and may not
live exactly by the book. When it came
to other people, my Grandpa is about the closest thing to a "True
Christian" that I have ever known. You couldn't get him to say anything
bad about another person if you tried.
He helped other people all of his life.
He was constantly giving to others and could never do anything that
would harm another. He truly saw good
in all people. He believed every person
had a good side to them.
As the saying goes you are only
as good as the animals and young children believe you are. I have seen a child be around my Grandpa
that doesn't just love him to pieces within minutes literally of meeting him. He adored children and just gleamed at the
innocence that he saw in the child's eyes.
All my high school friends called him Grandpa. The same holds true for animals. Grandpa loved animals as if they were humans.
He had two very large Rotwallers; Tank and Sheba. He fed them thirty pounds of chicken a
week. Every where Grandpa went those
dogs were right along with him in the back of his pick up. They were his best friends. When he talked
about his dogs it resembled the way a mother talked of her newly born
child. You could just see the passion in
his eyes for his dogs. They were part of
him.
The one absolutely unselfish
friend he had in this world were his dogs. The ones never proved
ungrateful. If Grandpa would have made
them, they would have slept on the cold floor, if only they may be near their
master. Truth is I think Grandpa
actually let Tank sleep in the bed with him.
Those dogs would have kissed my Grandpa's hand even if he had no food to
offer. They would lick the wounds and
sores that came in encounters with the roughness of the world. Those dogs would guard the sleep of my
Grandpa as if he were a prince. His dogs
are grieving just like us. My mom went
to clean out Grandpa's house and there lay three big guard dogs, not enough
energy to get up and bark, their head between their paws, eyes sad, faithful
and true even in death.
As you all may or may not know,
my Grandpa's health has been in decline for many years. He suffered from bleeding ulcers, empazema,
gout, cerosis of the liver and I'm not really sure what else. He wouldn't complain about his health but you
couldn't help but notice how hard he had to work just to get the next breath in. I would
always hug him and ask if he was going to okay and he would just laugh
and say, "Lord I hope not. I'll
never know it in a hundred years anyway."
He was so tough to the very end.
I don't ever remember when Granpa's health was 100%. I just remember him working so hard to make
another dime so that he could hopefully bring another smile to a person's
face. I guess because he was sick for so
long it was easy to just think he was immortal.
I just assumed my Grandpa would always be here. He became ill in his last few years. Very tired and worn. During his last few days he told the
preacher, "I am ready to take that long nap".
Ex: Explain what he told my mom about not being
scared to die. He was reassuring her
that she had made the right decision. He
was a brave man up unto his very last breath.
My mom held his hands until he took his last breath.
My grandpa and I used to talk about death
and he always told me not to fear death.
I believe that people let life divide them from their loved ones. Generally we are all so busy and don't have
the time to give to our families until death, which is supposedly eternal life,
reunites, and reconciles. I am happy
that my Grandpa will be reunited with his brother Tommy. And I now have something to look forward to
on the other side. Being with my Grandpa
again and showing him how much I love him.
