Grandpa Kentner

Yesterday afternoon, Mark's grandpa passed away. This is something we are going to have to deal with quite a bit, with both of our grandparents getting older and more fragile every day. It is sad, but we are grateful to know that he isn't in pain any more. What happened is too complicated to write on here, but I just wanted to post some things his family has said about him since he passed, since I don't know him as well as his family does. We love Grandpa Kentner, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet him. What a great man!
