Grandfather Quote by Curt Creelman
““I have lived an eloquent sufficiency, any more would have been a superfluous redundancy." My grandfather, Howard Creelman, Sr. always said this to my grandmother, Elaine. It is beautiful. I found this little brown tattered piece of paper tucked away in mmy grandmother's wallet after she passed away. It contained the original quote and simply said, "Howard always said this.””
