Grandfather Part II

At the memorial service years ago for our grandfather we asked for people to jot down a favorite memory about Grandpa Bixby... so we could continue, as his grandchildren to pass down lessons to our children from his wisdom.

The following is a synopsis of one of the stories we received that night...

Let me set the stage...

A couple, married in the spring of 1987, in the Cattaraugus area. The reception following the wedding was in the Ellicottville area. As they recall...everyone was driving to the reception...and there...on the way, was Grandpa...

Where?

In his suit, fishing in a nearby creek.

And I quote...

"He just could not pass up a good fishing hole. A great man with a great story at all times. Never too busy to go fishing."

What is it today that you need to slow down long enough to enjoy?

You get one crack at life...

If you see a "fishing hole" that needs tending to...

Well...

Come back with a great story.

With Expectancy,

The Zuke
