001 Grandfather Legacy: Abby Harris on Love, $20 Bills & Life Lessons
The heart of a grandfather legacy isn’t found in the big speeches or the perfect life plan — it’s tucked inside the quiet moments, the quirky traditions, and the unconditional love that grandpas pass down.
In this very first episode of The Grandpa Channel, host Steve “Rivers” Harris sits down with his daughter, Abby Harris — triplet, life coach, and proud granddaughter — to remember the two men who shaped her family: Grandpa Lou and Grandpa Hank.
Grandpa Lou was the life of the party — classy yet goofy, always rooting for the underdog, and known for slipping $20 into his grandkids’ hands when they needed it most. From buttermilk sipping to 5 PM fireworks, his blend of humor and warmth created a family tradition of joy. Most importantly, he showed Abby the power of unconditional love — the kind that meets you exactly where you are.
Grandpa Hank, by contrast, was disciplined, faithful, and steady. An immigrant from Amsterdam who built a life from scratch, his legacy was devotion — to his family, his faith, and his wife Darle, whom he championed with quiet pride. While Lou gave out candy money, Hank gave out gospel books, but both were teaching lessons that still endure.
Together, these two grandfathers proved that there’s no single way to leave a legacy. Some legacies sparkle with fireworks, others with steady faithfulness — but both matter deeply.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:
How a $20 bill became a symbol of unconditional love
Why grandpa stories are the heartbeat of family traditions
The quirky habits (buttermilk, candy closets, fireworks) that live on
Why being present matters more than being perfect
Pull up a chair and join us for a conversation full of laughter, nostalgia, and timeless wisdom. Because every grandpa has a story — and those stories are worth keeping.
"Hit play, and let’s grandpa."
