I only knew him in my adulthood. I didn’t meet him until I was 18, but he’s the only grandpa I’ve ever known. I am not a grandchild, but he always treated me like one. Quite a few times I stopped with a car problem or just to have him look over a new car I was getting ready to buy. Shad would get right into it and to tell me what the problem was. My favorite memories were when he insisted on lifting it right then, and we climbed under the vehicle together for four hours, so he could teach me how to fix it. Grandpa Shad and Grandma, (I didn’t learn her actual name for years) ALWAYS wanted to be there when one of the grandkids needed it. I’ll miss his handshake man-hugs and always insisting on me trying the new flavor of pie he made this year for the family Christmas Eve party.

When I was a little kid, we would go over to Grandpas house. All the baseball stuff would be ready to go. Grandpa knew I loved to play catch and hit the ball with him. Grandpa would throw me the ball till the sun went down. Never once did he complain or hint that he was tired or needed a break. I’ll never forget his love and kindness to everyone. I love you Grandpa. -Haley Sika 🫶🏼

As Dad's son some of the most gratifying thoughts and memories are when people who worked for Dad or had experience with him would go the extra mile to assist him over the last few years. He taught us to work hard and treat people how we wanted to be treated. I love you Dad, rest in peace and know that you made a difference during your time here.
