you're lucky you got to have those memories of having a grandpa. Both of my biological grandpa's died before I was born. (maternal grandpa died in '42, paternal died in '61)

I lucked out and my mom's mom remarried and so I had my Grandpa Lindsey...and then I lucked out on my dad's side of the family for having my great-uncle Fred (paternal grandmother's baby brother) I miss my uncle Fred. He died April 1st, 2000. I really miss him. He made the best spaghetti sauce, and his favorite color was pink.

My Grandpa Lindsey was a Methodist minister. He was really cool even tho I didnt know him that well. Only got to visit him four or five times in my life. (my dad was a workaholic for a long time and wouldnt take vacations very often) He died in '91 or '92 of pancreatic cancer. He didnt deserve that. That's a horrible death.
