Grandpa Willy

Grandpa Willy was a great man! You would have been very lucky to know him, granted he started to lose it in his old age he was still a great man. He always wanted the best for the family and always worked long hard hours in order to pay the bills. Your Grandpa Willy traveled long hours in order to go to work every day and drove there and back every day. He was always supportive of us boys going to school, getting good grades, and playing sports. Your grandpa was a great dad and wife. He cared for your grandma and always tried to make things right and keep everyone happy. As grandpa and grandma got older, your Uncle and I moved home to help take care of them and give them any help they needed around the house. Grandpa did get a little cranky sometimes, but everyone has bad days when they are always tired. Your grandma was always such a peacekeeper and tried to take care of everyone. I am sad that you were not able to meet your grandpa and grandma, they were both wonderful people and I loved them dearly.

Linda's Diary

Saturday 1952

Today has been a wonderful day! I just absolutely love having my whole family together! Biff and Happy and Willy, they are all wonderful! I love being so involved in the boy’s life and helping them get off to school. They just love life and seem to enjoy every minute of it. But those dang bills! They just keep getting to me. I need to get them take care of! I wish Willy would just relax and see how wonderful life in this house really is! Oh my! He just needs to calm down. But I love the way the things in my life are going!!

I don’t know what to do. I am so worried about Willy and the boys too. Willy gets mad so easily these days. Last night he even hit me when I was trying to talk. I can hardly talk at all anymore without getting told to be quiet. He gets so mad so easily and I am worried about him. All the driving to and from work just isn’t good. It is dangerous. Willy is having so many troubles and he never seems happy anymore. I just don’t know what to do anymore!
