It is really quite a milestone for me as he was my last surviving grandparent.
I am sad, as I have lost both my Grandma and Grandpa Ekern within just a few months.
My grandma passing away from a tragic accident and my grandpa long battle with cancer.
Here are a few pictures of them with Finnegan, the only time my Grandma got a chance to meet him.
Two weekends ago, for our last visit with Grandpa, we had the special opportunity to attend an event to honor him for his 53 years of service driving school bus.
This party was thrown by moms, teachers, members of the community and most importantly his generations of kids that he took to school, happily and diligently.
Here are the photos from that party.
Here also is a wonderful article about my grandpa that ran in the Westby newspaper.
