My favorite grandpa story is that when he was being deployed to serve in the Aleutian Islands in World War II, he was told there would be a beautiful woman behind every tree. When he arrived, he understood the ruse. There weren't any trees.

In Memory
I am home in Ohio today for the funeral of my grandfather who passed away on Saturday evening. He was my last surviving grandparent. Sadly, the Greatest Generation is now gone for me.

Steve - so sorry to hear about your loss. Memories are good to have to remember them by.
There are never words effective enough or that I can find when trying to express my condolences when a friend has lost someone they love. I am sorry that you have lost your grandfather.
