Do you know this man???

His name is Jay Folkert. You probably don't know him, but I wish you did. There are so many things about him that I wish you knew...things like this:
*He loves watermelon
*He was a math professor at Hope College
*Good luck playing any game (especially Rook) against him, he's THAT good!
*He taught Sunday School for years and years
*He has 3 kids and 7 grand kids and 8 great-grand kids
*He liked to wear a sweater with his outfits
*He knows how to make some awesome homemade applesauce
*He was generous with everything
*He has read through the Bible several times
*He really loved his wife (Marian) and liked holding her hand
*He cheers loudly at Hope College basketball games
*He's an avid follower of the Detroit Tigers, listening to the radio and the TV games
*He won medals in World War II
But the most important thing to add to this list of things about Jay Folkert is that HE LOVED GOD with all his heart! He talked daily about and with him, prayed earnestly to him, walked life alongside him, and taught his family all about him. He was 94 years old when God called him home. Now he's with the one he loves the most and has left an amazing legacy of faith in his family.
You probably don't know him, but I do.
This man...he's my Grandpa.
And I love him.
Have fun in heaven Grandpa.
I can't wait to see you again.
