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.
