Stories from the Family:
• Goodbye grandpa your time here on earth has been a great legacy.
Grandpa Pike was a man of few words-unless you got him started on football or politics. He was a hard worker and lived his life fully and honestly. I will always remember how he told me to "behave myself" (like that is even possible). Grandpa was a protector of his family and he was stern and unbreakable. He walked to his own beat in life, and well he knew how to make his point. The first time I ever heard his laugh was when I was only around 4 or 5 trying to make a bead necklace. He was sitting in the living room next to the kitchen table and he sneezed so loud my whole body rose a foot in the air and beads of all sizes went flying.
If you ever had him give you that "look" of you are in trouble, or you're going to be, you know what I'm talking about in this next story. It was Memorial Day in 2014 and there was a family party at my Uncle Dan's house. Chelsea, Dan's girlfriend was going to announce that they were expecting. Again, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Grandpa was sitting at the kitchen table and Chelsea and I were standing near it when she said "I'm expecting!" Well grandpa's ears still picked up on those words through all the talking and he gave me the "look" I seriously thought my head was going to pop off! I noticed this stare, and knew right away that he thought I was expecting! We all laughed and this by far will be one of the best memories I had with him. Nonetheless, Grandpa was such a wonderful man and I wish that I could have spent a few more days with him. We all do. –Tori Pike
• My grandpa was the best on earth he was a great person to be around you could always learn something from him no matter what. I always would give him a hug before I left and on my way out he would always say "behave yourself" and I always would because I was afraid he would get after me. I remember the time I was outside on the porch we were talking it was grandpa, grandma and I, we were talking then grandma went inside and me and grandpa stayed outside and I asked him questions and he told me about the good old days I loved hearing those story's. We always used to talk about something old. I also remember the time I was going to get a barrel to use for something of mine and he was backing out the car and he told me that's my barrel for my wood chips and I of course put It down then I thought and asked if I could go to Napa with him he said "sure" I got in the car. On the way back I told him "All I had was a bowl of oatmeal" to try to talk him in to taking me somewhere. Sure enough he did I never thought he would offer he said "Well I'll take you for a hamburger" we went to Dairy Queen. He was the best grandpa you could ever have we will miss him very much. I will anyway. –Jonah Monear
• My dad was a man of very few words and when he spoke you knew exactly how he felt about something. Although he was a man of few words he had quite a soft heart you could see just how soft hearted he was when it came to his grandchildren that would put a smile on his face immediately. I remember going out to the ranch with him and going arrowhead hunting or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the ranch. Dad was always my hero and a man I never wanted to disappoint. He left me with a million special memories and I will cherish each memory forever. Love your baby girl Renee
