Dan's father passed away. Larry Brennan was truly a gentleman. He was such a wonderful father in law and a amazing Grandfather. He had kind words for everyone and he was also very funny. I remember one time after dark out in the yard. Larry asked our 3 year old son if he wanted to hunt for night crawlers. He was so excited they started walking around the yard looking at the ground.Then all the sudden Larry went down on the ground and started rolling around and acting like he was wrestling with something. It was a green garden hose. He convinced Michael it was a night crawler. Another time Michael was being teased by a neighbor kid and Larry told Michael to tell the kid to knock it off or else he would rip his lips off and feed them to the chickens. Michael could not remember all of that so he just opened the front door and yelled at the other kid RIP CHICKENS!!!. We would always laugh and say RIP CHICKENS. On Larry's 50th birthday he wore a white jacket that you could write something to him on. Dan wrote real big on the back of it RIP CHICKENS.
We will always miss him until we are reunited in heaven some day.
I told Nolan the night crawlers and rip chicken story after shopping with you that day. We had a good laugh. He was an extremely good man. I wish I knew just how cool my grandparents where when I was younger. I would have sat and listened to them all day. Kids are so busy being kids. If only we could be kids, with the knowledge of an adult. Thanks for sharing this mom!
