Poppa was 98.875 years old. Served in the army during world war two. Lived a good life as a photographer after the war. Moved from St Loius to Dallas in mid 60's. That man taught me alot. If you still have grand parents go visit. | ||

My condolences for your loss. Sounds like a good long life. When someone lives to be a hundred or so, I think that is a life worth celebrating. A year from now, take his favorite liquor to his grave, pour two shots and down one. Think about him and his life and how you were affected by him. Leave the other shot there, for him. | |||

Grand parents hold a special place in our hearts and in my case it wasn’t until after they left us did I realize how much they taught us and had to give. Now that I’m a grandparent I am hoping to live up to the responsibility with regards to my grandchildren. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

So sorry for the loss of your Poppa, Blue Dog. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

May he rest in peace. I had to do the math. He was 21 in 1945. We’re getting to the last ones of them. My dad was also in WW2 and he died in 2000. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
