My Grandpop was one of the most selfless people I knew, there was never a problem too big that he wouldn’t help you solve. He always had a joke or story to tell, anything to make us laugh. I felt his love as his granddaughter since the day I was born. We’ll catch up to you Grandpop. Be good.
I will miss him terribly!! Who is going to bust my chops about the flowers out front of the office now? He was such a character., never sat still! I really loved our friendship and chats!!
My grandfather always kept busy with a project. He came to visit my parents house often and always wanted to help out. From putting new siding on the house, to building shelving in the basement, I was right by his side. In my eyes I was sure that I was helping him. I was most likely in the way, but he never let me know. He taught me to keep trying until you succeed.
As a teenager I would give the answer “I don’t know” and quickly learned from him that this was not the correct answer to any question. This has been ingrained into my personality and work ethic. If you don’t know, you go figure it out. He has made such an impact on so many lives.
I’m sure a bit of my sense of humor is from him. When I was very young, I recall playing candyland with him and my sister. We would always yell “Pop-Pop is cheating!!” He would laugh and think it was so funny that we were getting mad about it. The truth is that was the best part of the game.
We used to spend the night and Pop-Pop would make breakfast. I will always remember the pancakes that were as big as the pan and how high you flipped them into the air.
I will always remember your smile.
Dear Mary, Charlie, Shannon, Kelsey and the whole MacAdam family. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family during this difficult time. Horace was a great husband, father, grandfather and all around funny, hard working man. He will be missed by many.
Dearest Mary , Charlie, Joanne , Children and all the family. I am so very sad. I will always be grateful for the many times Mr. Mac Addams helped my family. Buying our home, treating the kids to globetrotter events and just for advice. He new lots of “things and people”. My heart breaks for your loss. Sending love to all Pattie Smith and family
Every Visit Horace made to us here at the bank left us with laughter and brighten our day! You will be missed for sure. thoughts and Prayers to Mary and the entire family.
