I can tell from the picture.

This picture is from before they got married. My grandfather passed away unexpectedly due to pancreatic cancer a few years ago and my grandmother is still having a tough time as they were attached at the hip for more than 50 years. I cant even begin to describe how special and rare my grandfather was.... kissed his wife as soon as he woke up every morning every day of their marriage. He was a woodworker after his retirement from the Navy (30 years in, with a rank of Master Chief), and made beautiful wood furniture for friends and family ---always for free--- for the last 30 years of his life. When he passed away, he was actually working on a full set of cabinetry for a family member. He was working in his shop on those cabinets the same day he had to be hospitalized for the last time.

My whole family is traveling to her house to spend Christmas this year, and I was hoping maybe I could find someone who could colorize this picture for me. I tried an online tool to do this but the results werent very good with the skin tones and clothes. I would be happy to pay for this service but do not know who to ask or where to look. I think it would mean the world to her if I could have this photo colorized and then get it framed. Please let me know if you or anyone you know does great work with photo colorization.

He looks so bashful and sweet.
