My grandma married Doc after she left my grandpa. He was a cantankerous old coot, but I liked him anyway. My favorite thing to do was to try to make him laugh. He used to sit at the dinner table and aggravate my mom by spewing outrageous racist crap. He also thought it was funny to see her turn red if she had a glass of wine and teased her mercilessly. What a mean old man*.
