Grandpa here as well. Remember him telling me to tell my Mom we went to the Zoo. "We did see animals" he would say. Man I miss him and think of him often.
He was the kind of guy that would go into a restaurant and tell all male customers to get some respect and remove their hats. He meant it and they did!
Remember running for coffee for him and his friends with a sawbuck and was always told "to keep the change". Back in those days (early 70's) I actually made money at the track. LOL
