My grandpa just died.
Massive heart attack. He was 80, and a WWII vet. Served on the U.S.S New Jersey. Plain and simple this blows.

Sorry for your news tom. That's just awful. My dad died when he was 58, never an easy time. I hope you had fun while you could. Cheer up....sounds like your grandpa lived a nice long life....

Very sorry to hear about your grandpa, my condolences. Think of happy times together. Memories will keep him alive in your heart forever.
My grandparents were already very old when I was young and I barely remember one set and nothing of the other. |

I'm very sorry for your loss. We lost my grandfather Stan a year ago in February and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him. But every time I think about him I smile and remember him fondly, so I didn't really "lose" him, I guess...

I was very close to my grand mother. When she died it hurt like all get out.
Now I smile when I think about her and tell the stories of how she lived. My condolances, you will forget the hurt, and remember the good. Just takes time.

My sympathy to you and your family. Always a hard thing to live with. Sounds like he lived a long life and served his country when he was called.
