He passed last year. Got to 98 with no serious health scares/issues. Caught COVID (after getting immunized) and he knew he was done.

He had my dad at 20 and my dad was 23 when I was born.

Unfortunately, he died in his mid 60’s from a grueling bout with bone cancer. Thankful that I grew while he was still working every day and he got to teach me a lot, but makes me sad and freaks me out that he never got to truly retire. They basically told him he was going to die within a year, so that’s when he decided to retire and live out the rest of his life the best he could while he could.

I would like to know more about this.

Grandfather was 49 when my father was born, my father was 33 when I showed up. Grandaddy lived to be 90, died when I was 9. My Maternal grandfather was born in 1883 and also lived to 90. I'm always overwhelmed by the changes they lived through. I've always felt that I skipped a generation.
