We were going to see him in 2 weeks. Their 58th anniversary is on the 21st, and we were all going to Ohio for the party. I was sad when they told us he wouldn't be able to make the trip to California this year, but was excited about going to Ohio to see him and Grandma and the rest of the family.
He was one of the smartest people I'll ever know. He loved jigsaw puzzles and sports and his family. He whistled constantly, most of the time without noticing he was doing it. He played cards and board games and laughed all the time. I will never forget his laugh.
He lived in Ohio, and we live in California, so we did't get to see him much. We went back to visit a few times, but most of the time he and Grandma came out here. They had a 5th Wheel/RV and loved to travel. He had a tattoo of an anchor on his arm that always fascinated me.
He took a nap today and didn't wake up. He's not hurting anymore, even if the rest of us are. We loved him and he loved us.
I miss you Grampa. I love you.
I’m so sorry. I adore my grandfather also; he sounds much like yours. It’s great that you have such fond memories of the time you spent together and that if he had to go, he went in a way very peaceful to him.
I’m thinking of you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry Denora.
