My father had both of his parents growing up, a brother and a sister. My
grandfather was a businessman with the seed and garden business. The picture
below was just the beginning years of what he would develop. He was busy making his business a success.

she was an alcoholic. His family certainly had its struggles. I believe my
father always searched for his father's approval that he never felt he had.
