Pocket Protectors in Memoriam

My grandpa often wore a pocket protector full of pens and pencils, but would never loan you one of those writing utensils. Turns out he had about 15 pocket protectors full of pens. And the funny thing is, most of the pens don't work. :)

Notice the pocket full of pens?

So, for the funeral today, my dad and his brother and all of the grandsons wore a pocket protector full of pens. The sons, grandsons and great-grandsons also all wore a tie and tie pin of his. Winston was particularly fond of the train tie pins. I'm sure Grandpa wouldn't have been super pleased that they had rummaged through his stuff, but we all got a good chuckle out of it.


With the hustle and bustle of the funeral, I'm not sure any of us got photos of all the guys. But this will have to do for now.
