Sadly Papa Lastinger passed away unexpectedly after a short illness on January 6, 2010, just a couple of weeks shy of his 85th birthday. This past weekend we attended the services held in his honor. Jim, Lily, and I last saw and spent time with Papa Lastinger on Christmas Eve, where he gave Lily a Radio Flyer Tricycle that he had been talking about wanting her to have for months. He was able to see Lily playing and sitting on the tricycle enjoying it having a fun time. He loved Lily so much and looked forward to spending time with her. She loved playing with Big Papa too! She especially had fun playing w/ his walking stick and his hats! We are so glad that Lily had the opportunity to spend time with her Great Grandfather even if the time was cut short she will have some photos to look back on as we tell her all about him and his sense of humor and his ability to make everyone laugh! Rest In Peace Papa.
