Garret's grandpa Don used to have a cottage up in Farwell, MI next to my grandma and grandpa Konsdorf's cottage ( Otto and Marion) and they used to fish during the day and sit around the campfire at night in the weekends. I was older than Garrett but I think I remember him up there. 34 years old is too young to pass. and I am sorry for your family's loss - Jason M. Adams
