(Great) Grandpa Tom Joliat (1924 - 2009)


It's a sad time for us...Elena's great grandpa passed away this week.
Grandpa Tom, simply put, was one of the best.  He was a true family man; always supportive and nurturing to everyone he loved. As the oldest of 15 grandchildren, I am blessed to of had my grandpa for so many years - to watch me grow, graduate, become a husband and now a father.  Although his time with Elena was brief, it's special knowing she was held by her great grand dad.

He was a true inspiration that will be forever missed.
Elena certainly has another special guardian angel watching over her.
