Grandpa Don

Benton's grandpa Don passed away on December 23rd. He was 91 years old, and would have been 92 in February. He & his wife Deri have been married for 62 years, what an inspiration to the rest of us. I know how much Benton loved and looked up to his grandpa. He spent tons of time growing up over at their house, mowing their lawn and hanging out. His grandpa also was the one to get Benton golfing, he taught him how at Davis golf course, and his gramps even golfed into his 80's. I was always so amazed at how sharp he was, he could tell you a story from his life, the date and small details, his memory was beyond my comprehension, I would leave in awe every time at how smart he was. He will be greatly missed and hope Benton's grandma knows how much we love her and know we are with her during this time.
