A grandfather recently went above and beyond to surprise his 6-year-old grandson in Sharon on his birthday.

The Sharon Police Department assisted “Batman” as part of a birthday parade for his grandson, Edward.

Paul Spinder says his grandson is living with autism and the pandemic has been tough on him.

“Batman is his favorite person, so I thought I would dress up like Batman and let him enjoy the party,”

Fortunately, the former firefighter had no problem getting the emergency responders to play along.

“This was a grandfather who dressed up to surprise his grandson who loves Batman,” Sharon police wrote. “SPD helped with the drive-by birthday parade. The post is just having fun with this wonderful grandfather- he dressed up on a very cold winter day to bring joy to his grandchild Edward who is 6.”

Pictures shared by police showed the grandfather dressed as Batman drive by in a motorized three-wheeler.

“Being able to just show love to family members is something we can all smile about and feel good about these days,” Deputy Chief Don Brewer said.
