Oh! He passed when he was only 67 years old and that was in 1996. He was a military man who raised his children on a farm. I was actually there when he passed away from a heart attack. It's interesting because the last week of his life my mom and my aunt did a "kid swap" for the week... My aunt lived on the same property as my grandparents. My grandpa seemed so at peace that whole week. He spent a lot of time with my grandmother and seemed to be filled with happiness. I think that was the message he was trying to convey, to find joy in life and to push fear and sadness to the side. |
