      "I remember Tsedo (grandpa) had a green thumb. At his house on Shady Run Rd., I recall him grafting fruit tree branches on other varieties of fruit trees. Since Tsedo never
      did learn how to drive, my dad or one of my uncles would take him to the McCullough farm at 8851 North Lima Rd. in Poland,Ohio to graft trees for Mr. McCullough. I also recall the smoke-house he had in the back of his house on Cooper Street where he would smoke slabs of bacon. I really enjoyed sitting with him and sharing that bacon as he would cut pieces off to eat,with some rye bread. He also had tools to repair his own shoes, he was a self-reliant person." Joe Rakocy Jr.
