This is my grandpa. He’s young and he’s brilliant, he’s a family man, he’s funny.
This is my grandpa! He’s energetic and outgoing, he’s skillful, he’s stunning.
This — this is my grandpa! He’s witty and brave, he’s respectable, he’s loving.
My Grandpa Ed is my role model and influence. Lou Gehrig’s took him from the world five years ago today.
This man means so, so much to me!
In memory of E.C. Leonard, and all of his wonderful ways —
