Alt. Name: Philander Cather
Alt. Birth: Mar 13 1888
My paternal grandfather, known to his grandchildren as Grumpy. As the story goes, my oldest brother, Bob, couldn't pronounce Grandpa when he was a toddler, started to call him Grumpy and it stuck.
I didn't know Grumpy very well. My parents moved from their home in West Virginia to Virginia before I was born. On the occasion that Grumpy would come to visit us, my clearest memory is of him singing to me, "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean".
