My Grandpa Zimmerman passed away yesterday afternoon. He had just turned 90 years old. He lived in Missouri and this past weekend all of his children including my Mom were able to travel back there to celebrate his 90th Birthday with him. I'm so glad my Mom was able to get back and see him and have those last few special moments with him.
I have nothing but good memories of my Grandpa Z. We didn't get to see him a ton because we always lived so far away. But the times that we did get to spend with him were always good times and I will cherish the memories I have of him. He was always so kind and loving and funny. He was so strong and was working in his yard, feeding animals and doing all the household repairs up to the day her died. Crazy old man!
