March 6 2011, Albert J Thoms died at the young age of 89. He was and amazing grandfather and rolemodel to me and has tought me alot. I get my creativity from him, my height, my extreme lead foot, my love for chocolates, ice cream, and my love for freshly grown blackberries and raspberries. I was able to grow up around my family even if they lived in a different state because he brought everyone to gether. And has set that tradition for 25 years. I hope that all of my cousins will continue it to remember him. He was the kindest man and had a Beautiful soul. Things won't be the same but I can't imagine my life without him in it. He changed it and planted a drive in me to push myself for a better life. To never let people push me down and to love Ice Cream.
He has touched many people who will never forget him and what he has done for them.

Save some Ice Cream for me in heaven Grandpa.
