Grandpa

The Joker

“In the photo is my grandpa holding me as a baby in 1989. After grandpa retired, he started a side job as a clown, where he’d go to birthday parties and do magic tricks. He also often wore his boxing shorts from his days as a heavyweight boxer at Michigan State. He was dressing up to entertain the grandkids that day, and the boxing/clown combination certainly made for an interesting photo.”

Thug Life

“My nephew’s car was involved in an accident and the windshield was smashed out. Instead of having the car towed, my dad (the grandpa) insisted they drive the car home with no windshield. So, they put on their safety glasses and drove all the way home with the wind in their faces. The funniest part of the picture is the police officer following them who never noticed.”

Eye Of The Storm

“This is my father-in-law with my oldest son, niece and nephew. We had gotten a few cousin pics already and thought a pic with grandpa would be great. The kids felt otherwise.”

The Bikini Cake

“This is my granddad and myself.  I can only assume he was so proud of the cake that he decided that his only grandson needed to be a part of such a grand occasion.”

Playing Possum

“That’s my grandfather (Pappy) kneeling, my sister in his lap, and my cousin standing. I believe it was my uncle’s possum – he was known for taking in and rehabbing animals in a spare bathroom. This was taken in 1969 in Grand Junction, Tennessee.”

The Man Without A Face

“My grandfather with my father circa 1974 and my grandma divorced him so she photoshopped him out of the picture and yes, this is in a photo album.”
