    Condolences, moes. You were very blessed to have him in your life and for such a long time. Daniel Johnston said, "Life is happy and sad." Today you are sad, but it seems he did so much to make you happy. You're a lucky guy.

    Sorry Moes.

    I saw you mention this in another thread, and I've been praying. I know I don't know you, but you seem like a genuine person, are a rational and intelligent poster, and a valuable resource on this board. I extend my condolences, and am here to provide whatever I can to help you.

We may not understand the difficult and tough situations we go through in life but brother God is still in controll and is Soverign and arranging everything under His hand. Actually what the Lord Jesus wants is that He wants you to turn your heart to Him. WHat He wants is to gain your heart and fill you with His life! Ask and you shall recieve, knock and the door will be open. Bro He's waiting for you so Seek after Him, He's waiting..

    You and your family are in my prayers. That was a super tribute to your grandfather and mentor.

    Wealth isn't only gauged in dollars and cents. You, Moes, are wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.

    I'm sorry...buddy...easiest thing to do is remember what he taught you and do great things..to make him proud, keep him in your heart even thought he is physically not with you but spiritually he is.I hope that helped.

    the words in this thread have been very comforting. Its been a rough day. But reading this thread has cheered me up a bit.

    My sincerest thanks to everyone.


    I'm just reading through some of the letters he saved for us grandkids right now.

    I'm discovering a few things I had forgotten, like how he fought in WW2 in the battle of the bulge and 50% of his squadron suffered casualties.

    He wrote "War is never good, even though they try to advertise it and glamorize it on TV... war is our greatest tragedy."

    ain't that the truth.

    And that's from someone who had to be there, so I'm inclined to believe him.

    anyway, thanks again. I truly appreciate it.

    I'd say that your grandfather raised a terrific "son."

    Sorry for your family's loss...
