Grandpa Happy



Don't you think that going through life with a name like 'Happy' would make your world a nicer place? I do. I don't know how someone could possibly have a bad day when others are saying, "Hi there Happy" or "How ya doin' Happy?".

From what I understand, people have been calling Art's Grandpa Eugene Merrill "Happy" for many years now. From the guys at work (before he retired) to his great grandchildren, he is known as Happy. Not only in name but in spirit as well. I have never been around Grandpa Happy while he doesn't have a smile on his face, a silly joke to tell or a front shirt pocket with a pack of gum in it to share. What a great name and an even better man!
