He passed at around 9am this morning. My mom called me a few minutes ago to let me know.

This is my 3rd grandfather that I've lost since I was around 10, and now I'm down to 1.

I'll post more later, but if I keep trying to say more now i'll start crying...and that's not a good thing for students to see when they're working.

    Sorry for your loss. Prayers sent.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Celebrate his life, don't dwell on your current loss. If you posted about him here, you must have loved him dearly. Don't throw that love away, cherish it and celebrate the times that you had to spend with him on this Earth. Many people aren't as lucky as you have been knowing such a person.

    That said, my sincerest condolences.
