R.I.P Grandpa Lipetzky

Last week, Steve's grandpa, George Lipetzky, passed away.  He had been sick for some time & while it was incredibly sad to lose a wonderful person, it's comforting to know he's at rest & in peace.  George was 80 years old & lived a long, fulfilling life.  He was married to Mickey for 55 years & they had 7 children, 25 grandkids, & numerous great-grandchildren.  A very faith-filled man, it's certain he's entered the pearly gates to be with his Father.  But let's be honest - he's in heaven with his Father, drinking Jameson & playing pinochle (a game I do not understand nor will I ever understand).

(He was so involved with two Catholic churches in Sioux Falls, he had five priests & one deacon officiating his funeral.  I think that gave him a first-class, express trip to the puffy clouds of heaven)

Here's a picture of George & Mickey from our wedding (no, she's not an angry person, I think she was caught off guard in the picture...).  We feel so blessed that George read at our wedding.  Our wedding was the last out-of-town trip they made & the last wedding they attended.

George, I raise my glass to you.  Cheers.
