He retired from the Newport News shipyard years ago. However, he never stopped taking care of his family. My daughter had a baby that was born early and my grandfather hired a driver to take him 75 miles to the hospital just so he could welcome the child into the world. My daughter was a miracle when she was born. She weighed two pounds and eleven ounces.
Small babies run in our family, as does the dreaded cancer.
I myself had to have a partial hysterectomy when I was only twenty- one years old. Trisha's hair is red now because she dyed it. To me she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I guess I am bias because she is my daughter. During the last four years she has had two premature babies and both died.
