Grandpa Brown

I found this picture of my grandpa and Belle.  Oh how I miss him. It has been 2 years since he passed away.  He loved Dr. Pepper he was always carrying around a huge cup full of Dr. Pepper.  He could make this whistle that sounded like a train. My cousins son actually called him grandpa whoo whoo. He loved his 10 children and wife so much. They had 7 girls and 3 boys. My Dad was the oldest boy. He was always worried about his kids. 
He would never go to the beach.  One time when I came for a visit he came with me. We talked and walked along the beach. I didn't realize until later he never went to the beach.
He was from Oklahoma.  He moved to California at age 16 to find work. He made twice the money in California then he could of in Oklahoma.
He was a hard worker after he retired he was still doing cement work on the side. A neighbor moved and left their house. My Grandpa mowed their lawn for 30 years. He worked in the steel mill for 40 years.
He was the hardest worker I know. 
I miss and love you Grandpa!
