My Grandfather (89) passed peacefully in his sleep last night. Even though it's a blessing as his health had deteriorated quickly over the past month, it's still hard when the actual moment arrives. He was a cool guy...lifelong steel worker in Ambridge (near Pittsburgh). Our big activity for many years was fishing together, although its been a long time since we actually made it out. RIP Grandpa...you'll be missed!!!

I'm sorry Rupert, that blows. At least you got to spend a good amount of time with him. I never got to met my grandparents on either side.Not helping the situation since 1965!Comment

Thanks everyone...I truly appreciate the kindness. What makes this whole ordeal more difficult is that my wife's Grandmother passed away the day before and my 18 year old recent highschool graduate son is moving to AZ in a few weeks! Our household is an emotional wreck right now

Rupe,
I feel your pain. I too lost my grandmother. Her health had been failing and suffered from dementia. She was at a point in her life were she didn't recognize her own family and was becoming very paranoid. It's difficult to deal with the death of a loved one even when you know that they are in a better place and no longer suffering. At the very least you'll always have some happy memories and great stories.Damn, I love this Interweb.Comment

Take care man."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"
