Grampy

We went to the US to spread ashes for Rick's dad or "Grampy" as he was known by his grandchildren and great grandchildren. We all met in Boothbay, Maine and boarded a charter.  The grandkids read poems, and shared memories. Rick gave a eulogy recalling that Grampy never complained and never gave up.  This inspired us all to be better.

On a bright sunny day at sea we spread his ashes into the sea and he joined his beloved wife Shirley who preceeded him by 30 years.

Grampy's final wishes were to be buried at sea  with all his family present followed by a lobster dinner on the wharf in Boothbay Harbor. So that's what we did!

The lobster dinner is the best when its on the wharf.  This was one of Grampy's favorite things to do. 
We went to see the Grandparents house. They live on through their family.
