Grandpa Stapley passed away yesterday. He was battling a vicious battle of Acute Melanoid Leukemia. He faught hard but didn't make it. I guess Heavenly Father wanted him home now. When I look back on Grandpa's life, man, he was one heck of a guy. It was hard to visit them often due to them living in Southern Utah. But I remember him as a man of example. From what I remember, he and Grandma were the prime example of two people in love. It was so cool watching them, where ever Grandma was, Grandpa followed, where ever Grandpa was, Grandma followed. They traveled the world together, they served 2 missions together. She never left his side during his battle of leukemia. 
They are just the prime example raising a family. They have wonderful kids, grandkids, and even great grand kids. It just makes me hope that when the day comes that I meet my significant other, that he and I can follow in the steps of my ALL my grandparents. I come from 2 amazing families. Grandpa was big into education, he was the Super Intendant of the Iron County School District. Like I said, he and his wife served 2 missions, one in Hawaii and the other in New Zealand. He was the president of the Master Singers Choir. He was a bishop for many years. I always remember Grandpa for his cars. He always had/has the coolest cars. I got to drive he and grandma's cadillac. Oh yeah.
Well I love my Grandpa dearly and will definately miss him. I am so grateful for the plan of salvation and know that families can be together FOREVER!!! So I will be seeing my Grandpa again.
I LOVE YOU GRANDPA STAPLEY
