A sad day.
 

I just got back from Coos Bay, Oregon. My Wifes Grandfather, my Sons Great Grandfather(he called him pop) died three days ago at the age of 91. We buried him today.

Of all of my Wifes reletives he was the one I could say I loved the most and I will miss him dearly. His Wife of 64 years died last May and his health started to falter immediately after...he did love her so. His funeral was nice but over so soon...and just like that he's gone.

<<<sleppyjeff>>>

i hope that soon you will find peace in the many loving memories of your grandfather-in-law

Wow, 64 years. That sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.
So very sorry for your loss, sleepyjeff.

I'm really saddened by the passing of so many of the 'Greatest Generation', especially when they are part of the family of someone I know. He sounds like a really nice, great man who lived a very full life, Jeff- we should all be so lucky! I hope his passing was not hard; after all the things he did and years he lived, he deserved a peaceful death.

Hugs to you and your family!

I'm so sorry.

My condolences, Jeff.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. He seemed like a great man. :(

The wisdom of age is not easily replaced. I am so very sorry to hear this, Sleepy.

So sorry for your loss, Jeff.

Hugs to you Sleepy Jeff. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that the memory of his spirit can help you find solace in your time of grief.

My condolences go out to you and your wife. :(

I'm so sorry, SJ. How wonderful it is thaqt your kids were able to have a relationship with the great grandfather though? I only met one grandparent, and barely knew him.

He sounds like such a wonderful man who did many awesome things.

I'm sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family

Thank you everyone. I am touched by your well wishes.
