JFK and his maternal grandfather, Honey Fitz

"It was a very wonderful and close relationship. They were absolutely crazy about each other. Jack was undoubtedly the old man’s favorite. [Honey Fitz] was a very attractive old man, full of the Irish blarney, full of mischief, and love of life. So much of Jack’s love of life and his inquisitiveness about life and his interest in everything comes from his maternal grandfather. "Mayor Fitzgerald never lost his intense enjoyment of life. [...] I think he was probably in his very late seventies when Jack ran for Congress. He was so excited about his grandson coming up there and going into politics in his own home area that he was beside himself. "He was a man who was never still for one moment. His humor was something that Jack loved so much; he adored his grandfather’s sense of humor. "[Jack's] grandfather [had a] wonderful knack of telling stories. It wasn’t the fact that the stories were so good, because we heard the same ones over and over again. Certainly Jack had heard them many, many times. But each time the Mayor told a story, he’d tell it in a different way and he’d laugh and enjoy it so much himself that everybody else had to enjoy it and, I must say, nobody enjoyed it more than Jack. He always took every opportunity to ask his grandfather to tell some story that he’d heard at least ten or twelve times."

-Lem Billings, in his oral history for the JFK library on 6/30/64
