Without fail, every time I come back to Utah, someone passes away. And it's usually so unexpected that nobody knows what to do. But this time, it was a blessing.
My grandpa Wayne Simpson passed away. Although he was not my biological grandfather- only by marriage- he's been around since I was pretty young. Of course it's always hard losing a family member, but everyone knew it was his time. He lived a long, full life.
He played the trumpet, and was in the Army band.
He also played Santa Claus for many years. Kids would see him all year long and think he was Santa. He was very good at it.
And since he was in the military, he was given military honors.
Andrew played Wayne's "reindeer call."
