My Grandpa, LaVarr Willaim Coats, passed away last week. It has been fun to recollect on his life and has brought back many memories. I grew up next door to Grandpa and we got to work on the farm with him. He was a hard worker and taught me many things.
He loved to feed all the little ones ice cream.
James is his first great grandchild
My Grandpas were great friends we went on many trips and events with both of them.

Watching Emily at her birthday party and then on the 4th of July with my mom and dad and almost all their grandchildren.
Halloween
This the processional up to the cemetery. Some friends have the horses and herse. I thought it was pretty cool.
Lucky for Grandpa we can see his spot from our back door, He may just be the most visited and decorated guy there because my kids love to go walk and ride their bikes in the cemetery. Mary has already been walking the fence to find blown flowers to put on his grave.

So sorry for your loss Mindy. You have such a great family.
Mindy, I am sorry about your grandpa. But I loved all the pictures... what great memories you (and your kids) have of our grandpa.
Miss you (but I'll see you soon!)
