Temp Thread: Fadded Glory Story Hour (Please Lock down)

[Old One]

94...

He lived an amazingly life. A self-taught mechanic that could fix just about everything, he provided for a family of 6 during the depression and WWII era.

Had 2/3 of his stomach removed over 70 years ago, married for 71 years. He built most of the houses that he and my grandmother lived in (5 or 6 that I know of).

All in all, a quiet, unpretentious man of great inner strength!

Wow 94! My grandma was 90...

Hmmm, proverb: extraordinary times produce extraordinary people.

Hope your grandpa didn't suffer long. My grandma just phoned all her children to come, as everyone was there she said goodbye cause she's going to die now and then she just died.

You're all ok?

After Piratecat's admonishment I didn't want to clutter the other thread. I should have thought to come here sooner to express my condolences. Sorry for your loss, Old One.

If it's any consolation, it sounds like your grandfather was a heck of a great guy who lived a long and prosperous life. What more can any of us really ask than that.

Take care and know that we'll all be here whether it be for emotional support or just to shoot the breeze about your Story Hour.

The best kind. Sounds like he had a wonderful life and was a wonderful person.

Condolences and Congratulations

Seems that life runs in cycles.

First,

Condolences to Old One on the passing of a cherished relative.

Second,

Congratulations to Corey (Quintus) on the birth of his second child.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss Old One. I imagine that it is no small consolation your grandfather lived a full and fulfilling life. Best wishes to your family.

Hopefully he fit into the category described by this old Irish proverb:
May you live as long as you want,
and never want as long as you live.

Well, Old One has found time to start a New Thread. It comes complete with a Campaign Synopsis.

Of course, being the RBST that he is, we have no update as of yet. He says we should have one by midnight tonight. We do have a thread! So, consider this one closed.

See ya there!
