I am so sad.

My grandfather passed away this morning.

He was such a fine person, a gentleman in every sense of the word. He loved his family so much, and he was much loved by everyone. He will be missed more than words can say.

Last night at the hospital, he was concerned about not having enough chairs in his room for visitors. He was on his death bed, and he was worried about how comfortable his visitors would be. That's an example of how caring he was. I wasn't able to be there (we're out-of-state), but when he took a rapid turn for the worse last month, I visited him then for the final time. I'm glad I got to see him when I did.

He proudly served his country in World War II and in the Korean War. As a veteran, he enjoyed hanging out at the local American Legion. Not many WWII vets are left nowadays.

It's a sad day here.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Kelly. My grandma died a year ago on the 29th and I know it's hard. I was just remembering how I felt last year and I know what you're going through. Many hugs to you and your family.

It seems like the "Greatest Generation" is vanishing before our eyes.

I`m very sorry you lost your grandfather.
We always think of the verterans in loving memory. They freed my country.
Be very very proud of him.

Thank you, everyone.

We drove to and from Pittsburgh (10 hour round trip) yesterday for a private family gathering. He didn't want a formal memorial service, so we put together our own version of an informal memorial for him with just his 4 children and all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It was a sad day, but I am so glad we were able to go.
