Prayers needed for My Grandpa......Update

Here are some more that were on display tonight, the excavator was all hand made, the tracks were like the real ones and moved, the bucket moved, just like a real toy.

They are all amazing, the forest scene is really something. It's something you would never get tired of looking at.

Here is one he made for my dad, it is about 1/16th scale and all hand made except for the wheels. Lots of detail in this one, especially in the grilles. I believe it is made out of oak, pretty heavy too.

that is unbelievable ...your grandpa will be missed by many......he was from the generation of ppl who believed in craftsmanship and pride...

i salute him for being a WWII vet, they were a generation of ppl who made this country great.

ppl of his generation were really something special .....the work of his hands looks devine.

to think of all his experiences and what he saw during his life is amazing......

he was a good looker too.......i can see the family resemblence.

Bless your Grandpa and your Family
 
Your Grandfather's woodworking's look amazing Keith! He sure had allot of talent and patience to do those.

Beautiful Work. I didn't know he was part of the Big Red One infantry unit.
 
being a woodworker by trade , i can truly appreciate what it takes to create such great pieces of work. the attention to detail is excellent and very very nice. truly very time consuming

i hope you are hanging in there Keith
 
The funeral was today and it went well, beautiful mass and a burial with Military Honers was something to see. Plus, the weather was warm with no snow yet so I drove my 74 Satellite, how often can I drive my nice car in MN on November 20th! It was a sad day but there was more laughter than tears, I know that's what grandpa would have wanted :glasses7:

Thanks everyone for your prayers and support, you are all awesome :prayer:
 
Sorry, for chiming in late, Keith. You, Pete, and the rest of your family have my sincerest condolences and prayers.
 
Glad you had a nice day to lay Grandpa to rest Keith. His woodworking was truly amazing. My grandfather was a 40yr vet of the police department in our county just outside Wash, DC. He retired as a Lt.Coronel, 2nd in command, and had a full military funeral also in 1984. That's one of the most powerful/emotional things i've ever been apart of. Continued condolences to you and your family.
 
Keith, Deepest condolences for your family's loss..... I'm sure he's smiling now with the tribute you've shown for him here on FABO :thumbup:

Your Grandpa's artistic woodwork should be passed down thru many generations of your family. Truly works of art IMO. Did he sign them in any way?

Here's the flag @ half staff for him from here in AZ :salut:
