Sorry to hear that Rob. I'm glad you got to spend as much time as you did and he lived for as long as he did.

My grandpa was my war hero, work ethic hero, "how to be a man" hero and every hero in between. We let him go Feb 24th 2014. But I have his picture staring at me in my shop, the ol' boy never takes his eye off me, or my work.  :)

I lost mine this January. He was a very quiet man. My first baby sitter, Baseball coach, and life coach. He shaped me into a man.

My thoughts are with you and yours in your tough time.

I have been praying for you since you first spoke of your grandfathers troubles.  Grandfathers can be very special people. I did not get to know my dads da, but my moms dad was a great man. More prayers coming your way as you get through this difficult time.

I read a story one time. I think it was called "foot steps in the corn row".
The young man goes arrowhead hunting with his gramps often.
He learns so much besides finding artifacts while talking to gramps on
the outings. When out hunting arrowheads after his gramps has gone
 to the Lord he finds foot print always accompanying him in the next row.
I hope you see some Rob 
all the best Zuma
