Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

I remember when we would always have cookouts as a family when my grandparents still lived in Glen Cove. We would make homemade ice cream together, but everyone knows that grandpa didn't like ice cream ;) We could never keep enough of it in the house. If we let him, he would have eaten it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter what time of the day it was, and if you went down to see him you would catch him sitting at the table eating ice cream. I remember just going down to his house, and just sitting there while he was sleeping. He didn't like to hold much of a conversation, but I just liked sitting there. He was the best grandfather anyone could ever ask for, him and my grandmother would give the shirt off their back and do anything for anyone, no matter who you were. I knew I could always count on them being there whenever I needed someone to talk to. I used to go down to my grandparents house, and help grandma baked, and grandpa would be the first one to taste what we were making, he was very good at that. There are many more good memories that I could write, but I will keep them in my heart. I will miss him very much, but I know through every step I take now and in the future he will be with god watching down on me. I love you Grandpa!
