Grandpa Lenny

I am going to tell you about my grandpa, my mom’s father. My grandpa is taller than most people at the height of 6 foot 2. I have to look up at him. He has dark brown eyes and very little hair. I have never seen one bad picture of my grandpa. No matter what he always has a smile on his face.

My grandpa was in the US army. He was stationed in Germany and he was a machine gunner. Right now my grandpa lives in Boyton Beach, Florida. Although my grandpa is retired  he still knows how to dance. When he was younger he was a good dancer says my mom says. I like to play sports with my grandpa. He swims, plays tennis, and takes long walks with my grandma. I like playing tennis with him each time I get closer to beating him. It will happen eventually. When we go to restaurant, when my mom isn’t looking I sprinkle salt on his arm it is almost a tradition.

     When my grandpa was growing up in the Lower east side his family is poor, poor enough that he had to use his brother’s righty glove when he was a lefty. He was a great player. In the summer he went to a cheap day camp in Davis, New York. He loved it because they did everything he liked. What I felt really bad about is his mom died when he was thirteen. He had an ok childhood.

            My grandpa went to the Fashion Institute of Technology. He worked for many companies including Calvin Klein sports wear. He was the stock manager. He went to that college because he went to a high school for clothing so he went there. Also he was having trouble getting other jobs so he went there.

            My grandpa loves to have friends over. He asks them to play tennis or over to dinner. My grandpa lives near great restaurants for example something called Japan grill it is a buffet of Japanese food. They have awesome an all you eat buffet. My grandpa always thinks of other first and has a big heart  and I want to see him soon!
