I drove out to his old house in about 2023 that was 13 years after he passed away he lived in gig harbor and i live in puyallup so its 26 miles one way from his house to my house.

I took these 2 pictures in my 02 ranger fx4 off road the first picture is his old street and the 2nd picture is his old house.

My Grandpa Duane owned a 1990 super cab ranger white exterior with red interior - 3.0 v6 - 5 speed manual - 2wd. when i was about 7-8 maybe so in 1998-1999.

My Grandma Audrey my dads mom passed away from a heart attack in 1995 when her my grandma and grandpa where at the catholic church in gig harbor i was only 3 1/2 years old when that happened.



Rest In Peace - Grandma Audrey & Grandpa Duane.

My family's home is a lot farther away. I live almost 700 miles from where I was born. I have only been back twice, but the house is being taken good care of, and the deck my dad built years ago is still there. I will never forget Taco Bell nights in the summer, when my dad would go get us soft tacos. Back then they were only 35¢ apiece with cheese on them. We'd sit out back and kill so many tacos...

taco bell as a kid was great. even in high school, that is where we ate when we only had a dollar or two.

it would take days to drive to my grandparent's old house in vallejo ca. they moved there when my grandpa retired from the navy in the late 50s or early 60s. it got sold when my grandpa moved into with my aunt in wilmington nc in 08 or 09.

my grandpa had an 87-90 ranger with a shell on the back and before that, he had a full sized ranger with a camper on it.


gary, you really ought to go on longer drives and see other places.
