Things have been a bit hectic as of late. My husbands Step-Father passed away. He was a funny man who loved his grandchildren so much. He even seemed to take pleasure when they were being naughty or mischievous.
Mind you, he wasn't perfect. Being 84 years old, he's from a different time. My Father-in-law was nothing if not politically incorrect. He occasionally brought up incredibly inappropriate topics at the dinner table or made comments about people who were sometimes well within earshot. More than once I remember the ol' face palm at something he said.
Frank seemed to live by the motto, "If it's free, it's for me." Last time I saw him at his home, he showed me a book of matches he had from the restaurant where Glenn and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner! That was 10 years ago! Whenever we went to dinner he would grab a handful of mints or toothpicks (which I found hilarious since he had dentures).
During the Pastors homily at the funeral service this past Saturday, he said Frank was a character. That was so true. He would have you angry one minute and then laughing the next.
Frank will be missed, by me, by his grandchildren and by any life he's touched. He was a dear sweet, funny man who made an impression on you no matter how long you knew him.
Goodbye Pop-pop Hill, we love you.
