Grandpa and Grandma's first date

My grandfather Tom Crawford recollects his first date with my grandmother Dorothy just before the war. He worked for a company and she was a new secretary. She wanted to dance with him at a company party all evening!

After that story, he mis-understands when I told him he and my grandma did a good job raising my mother (Pam) and starts another story about working as a collection agent re-possessing a truck and trailer. In that story my grandmother was with him in the car when he went to collect. He thought I was referring to my grandmother accompanying him on jobs. What he forgets to mention this time (I've heard the stories before) is that he asked my grandma to roll up the windows and turn the radio up so she wouldn't have to hear what he said to the guy threatening him with a wrench.

Tom passed away on Jan 3, 2010 in Toronto ON, just a few weeks after this video was taken.

This grandson misses him very much and loved him to bits. He was one of my heroes.
