RyansRangers Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hey All, My grandfather passed away Monday Afternoon at the age of 89 years old, certainly wasnt short changed in years and actually never took any medicine even a asprin for 88 1/2 years. He had become ill with pnemonia and ingestion issues with his lungs and while at home he passed on. My mother has taken this very hard since he is the last family member outside my father and us to have live and he was a mainstay in the family for strength. He was a world war II navy veteran. I ask for thoughts and prayers for my mother as she needs them.. THANKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Sorry RR. I've lost all of my grandparents so I know how you feel. 89 years is great though. He had a good life. Maybe we all should stay away from the pills and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stwasm Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ryan, my sympathies for your loss. You all will be in my prayers. You can be sure that my dad will be among the angels welcoming this fine man and fellow serviceman into Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Your grandfather lived through some of the most remarkable times in human history, saw things become reality that were just fantastic wonders when he was born. His service helped to shape the world. Right now it's hard, but soon the pride you have for your grandfather will override the tears, and you will begin to celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing. By reading your opening post, he has left a fine legacy for your family, and the pride you clearly carry will be passed down to your children. As a man, he couldn't ask for much more. THAT is a successful life. ~John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
