I was able to fly back to Utah to be with my family to celebrate the graduation of my grandpa to the his next life. It is nice to see family and hear stories from uncles and aunties. I really need to write those memories down.
After retirement My grandpa took art classes and expanded his talents with oil painting. It was always fun to see his new projects and pieces when we would come to visit every so often. When we were in Germany I asked my grandpa to paint a picture for me... I’m so glad I that I did- I just wish I would have had him paint me another...
Thankfully my grandma Denise has her old high school yearbooks so we could look at his younger version of my grandpa.
My brother Dusty and I both love this landscape painting... I should ask Jan
Senior picture in the yearbook for excellence in art
My grandpa loved irises -his grandfather taught him to garden and his landscaping was a joy for him to work outside.
This is the painting I had my grandpa paint for me... the flowers reminded him of his grandpa Levi and many of the bulbs he had in his yard were from him.
