This is a facebook post Uncle Loren wrote in reference to G'pa...  very sweet!

Before Dad passed away and was able to converse, he told Mom that they should have gotten married sooner, so they could have spent more time together.,,,,,What a wonderful thing to be able to say after 65 years together!
