March 24, 2021 7:17 PMMr. President as I called him loved his daughters and wanted only the best for them.
He always bragged to me about his Grandsons also and how intelligent they were.
He told me funny stories and made me laugh and I hope I made him laugh now and then. We talked about Politics, fighting in WarWar II and when he worked in the mines. He boxed when he was younger, and when he boxed if he won a fight he would get $5 and he would give it to his Grandpa and he would give Joe a dime to go to the Picture show. He always said " there's no time to shine the rifle with a war going on"
I will miss him especially because he always made me laugh and feel good about about life.
The Governor
