About 7 days after we got back to Denver from our Utah trip Jason's grandpa passed away. It was pretty sudden, his health declined very rapidly and suddenly, when we had left Utah 7 days before we had no idea he would be pasting away soon.
So we packed back up and headed back to Utah for the funeral. It was a wonderful service. He had served, and gotten injured, in World War II. It was really neat to have a military service and teach the kids about Veterans. We learning a lot about Grandpa Phil that we never knew and kind of got us into wanting to start more genealogy for his side. He grew up in California in a make-shift- shack with a dirt floor. His mother would tell stories of shaking scorpions and snakes out of his baby blankets!
