My grandfather was at every event and special occassion with a smile and hug for anyone. He was passionate about telling his grand children about his time in Poland and within the war to share his experience and knowledge. I will always remember him tinkering around the house and garden, and his horrible home made wine. Cheers Jaja, until we meet again. Love always, Jenn
