It’s been great to read

It’s been great to read the “What did you get?” messages from the family, as we remember Francis Zuiker and his legacy. One thing I know Grandpa gave to his family is the ability to make simple, humble statements of love. Like this message my father, Joseph, sent to me on my birthday yesterday:

“you were my first buddy. we had great hikes, I saw you tell the deer in California that he was eating your toy. I think I taught you how to ride a bike. I put worms on you hook and I threw you a thousand passes. You scored a hundred touchdowns and we shared root beers, p&#226t&#233s, candy bars and other treats of life. Most of all you have been kind, courteous and a positive influence on yourself and your brothers. I am very grateful for your life today.”
