gramps.

in rememberance of the life of Mr. Bob Crouse (gramps) . 

dear gramps, 


i will always remember you and the crazy stories you woud tell ( most of the time i was not sure if they were even true ) but you made us all laugh.  were you really the body guard for The Beatles?  you truly had a sense of humor. i love you very much grandpa.  thank you for always hugging me tight, making sure i let you know if anyone hurt me, taking brandon & i out for cheese burgers, standing on the 3rd base line to cheer me on, telling me that i should run for president,  and just doing the best you could.  there was never a dull moment with you. i admire your love for photography and film.  you have inspired me to want to capture moments in time and appreciate film.  there are still so many questions i have for you about your life that i wanted to know, but thank you for sharing the ones that you did.  we all have our stories to tell.  i know i could always find you playing a game of golf or patroling the neighborhood to make sure everything was in line ( that must of been the ex police office in you ).   thank you for always checking up on me when i moved to san diego to finish school.  i finally finished! i know how much you loved the warm sunshine of san diego and the waves of Coronado Island ( i must of got that from you ) because you would constantly tell me over and over how you missed those things.  the sun is shinning and the waves are still crashing gramps. i honor your life lived and prescene in my life, and i thank you for bringing my mother and uncle mike into this world.  i love you gramps and always will.  

your granddaugther,
