Also a special place for those family members who must care for an Alzheimer's relative. Years of dedication with a worse by day outlook.

my Dad had that, the cruelest of diseases, imo

Prayers amigo. He sounds like a wonderful man that had a very fulfilling life. I lost my grandfather a year ago. He too was a great man from the greatest generation. In short, he, like your grandfather, was called home. Grieve but be greatful that he had such a large role in your life. At the end of the say, you sound like you were extremely lucky to have him to look up to.

Peace be with you my friend.

Sorry for your loss man.

I often really envy people who had a great relationship with their grandparents. Having grown up with older parents who were the youngest in their families, I lost all of my grandparents while still in elementary school. I only knew them as old and feeble and never established a deep relationship with them. Sounds like your grandfather led an amazing life and you were blessed to spend some really quality years with him.
