Goodbye Granddad - thanks for the memories

my granddad!
Just shy of his 102nd birthday, my grandfather passed away last night.

I'm just at a loss for words.

All four of my grandparents passed before I was even born so I never knew the joy of having grandparents around. I am glad you had good memories with yours. I am sorry for your loss, Iggy.
