He was very good with children. In fact he was very good with all subjects. He died of Alzhimers disease in 1998. I found these pictures in the many boxes of pictures he had.

Grandma, this is really cool stuff. The last time I was at your place, I was intrigued by the guest room with all the photos... See a shot of the room here: http://tinyurl.com/2mzhn9.
This room, watching great grandfather's last days, and even this post are a powerful reminder to me of the gift of creativity in my family and others.
