Eulogy For A Grandfather

Eulogy for a grandfather

Adjectives such as unique, eccentric, and one-in-thirty-million, barely scratch the surface of who he was. There were never enough hours in a day to accomplish all he wanted to do.

Mostly Funny Stories from Everyday Life

After seventy years as a fisherman, Dad called it quits and moved on to more creative ventures. He wrote a series of books about growing up in poverty in West Head in the thirties and forties. He increased the size of his garden ten fold.

A natural salesman, he peddled all manner of fish, vegetables, and berries. He experimented with baking cookies, muffins, pies and bread.

The bread was unlike any bread you have ever eaten. It weighed a ton and would stay in your stomach for hours. He built model boats, dories, lighthouses, crates and lobster traps — all for a hefty price.

Why not now? Our adored Dad, Gramp and Great-gramp passed away just after midnight on April 1, At his funeral, five days later, his eldest granddaughter, Cindy Roache, captured the true essence of Gramp in her eulogy written from the perspective of a grandchild.]
