Tribute to Walter Clayton Grizzle "Paps" October 27, 1927 - September 11, 2008 "What will we do without him" As I stumble through this life, help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more happiness than gloom, spread more cheer than despair. Never let me become so indifferent, That I fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child, or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged. Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people up, make them happy, and to forget, at least momentarily, all the unhappiness in their lives. And in my final moment, may I hear God whisper, "When you made the people smile, You made me smile." Walter Clayton Grizzle Beloved Husband, Father, Papaw, and friend. Survived by his Brother Pete Grizzle, Of walbash Indiana, Sister Effie Saterfield of Ellajay Ga His Children, Mary Hanaway of Chatsworth Ga, Jim Grizzle of Chatsworth ga, and Stanley Grizzle of Chatsworth ga 12 Grandkids, and Numerous Greatgrand kids and a host of friends and other family members Paps was always there for anyone no matter what. He really was truely one of a kind. Anyone who had the privilage to know him would agree When i say the world really lost one of the "good-guys" when Paps passed away. I am so glad he was in my life, he was my friend, role model, and like a father to me, and best of all my Paps. Although ill *never* get over his death, it's a comfort of sort to know he's up there in heaven watching down on me, guideing me through life. "Gentle Wind" "Clouds are forming in the sky As a gentle wind blew across the land Reaching out to take his hands For on the winds the angels came Calling out Paps's name Left behind, the children's tears Loving memories of all the years Of joy and love, a life well spent And now to God, Paps has went On angels wings, a heavenly flight The Journey home, towards the light To those who weep, a life is gone But in God's love, one has begun." We will always love & miss you Paps
