Sorry for your loss Don. Losing a grandpa is hard, especially a close one. I lost mine 12 years ago and we were very close. I still miss him. Seems like everywhere I look around the farm I can hear him telling me something or teasing me about something

Sorry to hear this!, I'm glad you got to spend adult time with him. I came along late in life, barely remember mine.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you have a lot of good memories stored up. As long as a person is remembered, they are never really gone. Take Care, Bob

I will keep you and your family in my prayers Don . So sorry to hear of this. I was lucky enough to know both my grandfathers. Miss them and their stories they would tell . I an so glad you were able to record some of your grandfather's stories and recollections. Cherish the memories and store those recordings safely. Oh how I wish I could have recorded some conversations with my grandparents. Some people curse modern technology but how I wish our ancestors could film ,photograph and save these memories like we can today.

Hang onto all those good memories. Do what you can to make more with future generations. I don't have much for grandpa memories, as both pasted before I was 7.
But did get to see my kids make lots of grandpa memories.

Sorry hear this, losing a grandparent is always difficult. I had both sets of grandparents all my years growing up, grandmother on my dad’s side was the first to pass away when I was senior in HS, dads father passed a little over a year after that. Mom’s parents were around for another 10, and 20 years later.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
