| Notes |
- "Grandpa was born Oliver Woodrow Sapp. He told me he did not like his name and did not like President Woodrow Wilson (of whom we share ancestry) so he up and changed his name. All he told me about this was that he started going by Ollie before the Second Great War. In the 1940 Census he is still going by his birth name but buy the time of his marriage he is Ollie W. Sapp. I have at times seen his name listed as W. Olliver on other peoples family trees but his birth name had only one L in it. As a minor note most of these trees also list my name as Kelly or Kelley.
Grandpa tried to teach me to shoot when I was about five years old. I was with him and we were walking to the bridge that crossed the creek to go see Jimmy, the best hunting dog ever, and there was a rattler. He told me
to stay still and slowly went for the gun he had. He put it in my hands and told me I had to shoot it in the head or else we were in some big trouble and he laughed. He had his hands loosely around the gun and counted down and we killed that snake and went to play with Jimmy but that day turned me away from guns, much to Grandpa's dismay.
He tended to let me do tons of crazy stuff. He let me help on the riding mower and sometimes do it with out him, he let me ride in the back of the truck while he drove at crazy speeds and in general anything else fun that would scare my Mom and Dad to death.
Needless to say time with Grandpa was always lots of fun. When I was a kid I would hide everyday when I knew he was coming home from work. He seemed to always know where I was but every workday he still pretended not to know where I was. Then when he would find me, or let me jump out and scare him, he would grab me and tickle me. Then we would watch the TV show the Dukes of Hazard that was then in syndication while Grandma would cook dinner and smile in at us from the kitchen.
I will add notes about Rock soon, for now he loved that damned horse, he said he was mine but the whole country side knew better.
Grandpa was a die hard romantic. He drove to see Grandma everyday she was in the nursing home, but for one day when the snow was to bad for even him. He was so very upset about that day and never forgave himself. He always had a kiss or pat on the bumm for Grandma. Their story was always a romantic one, filled with good time and bad.
In the end as Grandma struggled he did not let it phase him. What they had put the movie the Notebook to shame. When Grandma died the day before their 66th wedding anniversary it was hard for him to take. My Mom and I tried to console him and told him that he should say to heck with it and count it as 66 years. He played along to make me happy.
I will add notes about his death soon, for now I will say that he was determined to make it past his birthday even though the doctors said he would not. He was a Sapp. He made his goal. We had a perfect goodbye. His death was a good one. I miss him.
As of January 29th, 2015 there are no pictures of his headstone or that of Grandma Maxine on Find A Grave or Billion Graves."
