Gone for a while
I'll be in Denver attending my grandfather's funeral. Please, talk amongst yourselves while I'm gone. This is the last of my grandparents to go. He was 98 and on dialysis for the last year so it' s shouldn't be surprising that he died. But he was such an independent, tough guy I think none of us really believed he actually would die. But that's how it goes. He lived a good life, always on his terms. He was a creative thinker who didn't waste many words and didn't suffer fools easily. I loved all my grandparents, but always felt a special affinity for him. 8 comments from 8 users

How wonderful to have grandparents for such a long time. You're very fortunate. I'm sure you are now realizing that.

My favorite grandparent was the last of the four to pass on, too. That was 19 years ago this February. He went snow skiing for the first time when he was 70 years old! Died from cancer a month before turning 73. I hope the weather cooperates for you. Travel safely.

"He lived a good life, always on his terms. He was a creative thinker who didn't waste many words and didn't suffer fools easily." Hmm, sounds a LOT like his granddaughter, of whom I'm sure he was very proud. Sounds, too, like he had a great run, though we always want them with us a little longer. I'm sorry for your loss, Lois. posted by

They don't die while they still affect your life. Safe trip and happy memories, Lois.

Thanks all for your well wishes.Reading the obit my family put together, I'm even more amazed by my grandpa. I'd forgotten that he was a pretty good boxer in his youth, broke broncs and sold crop insurance during the '50s!
