As I mentioned last week my grandfather (88 years old) Died 7-3-2009. Born Dec6th, 1920.
He was in the US Navy in 1944,1945. He never saw action as he was waiting to invade Japan. Then sent home in 1945.
There was a 21 gun salute at the cemetery, 7 old timers firing 3 rounds each...All from the VFW.
The minister that read the sermons, prayers and comments knew my grandfather for over 50 years cause he worked for my granddad at a gas station that he owned. This minister says he remembers that the gas station was full service (remember that) check tires, check oil, clean windshields and fill up the tank. (there are no full service stations anymore that I know of) My grandfather was run out of business in the 1960's when the oil companies ran the little guys out. My grandfather would pick up gasoline in Toledo Ohio and then bring it up to his station just north of Detroit. In the Early 70's my granddad started a waste oil business and then he retired in the early 80s.
The best thing I can say about my granddad is how God describes Job in the old testament:---- The very last verse of the book of Job says that Job was blessed with children and grandchildren to the 4th generation and Job died at the age of 140 and he died old and full of years.
My grandfather got to see all his grandchildren grow up--14 grandkids and the youngest grandchild is 31, and he and my grandmother have 23 great grandchildren. My grandmother is still alive and is also 88. (if my grandmother lives another few years she will see Great Great grandchildren)

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
