Grandpa passes on....
And, hot on the heels of that last post, which was really just me waiting to see if the internet connection here at work was going to go down, I get news that my Grandpa Dillon passed away peacefully last night. If you care to know, he'd had congestive heart failure for some time, so it wasn't a surprise to him, I expect. Bit of a surprise to me. Thankfully, we did get to bring the whole family to him around Labor Day, and I think he had a good time with the kids.
Sounds as though arrangements are being handled by his surviving siblings, so hopefully, I'll hear more news shortly. There are a few children to gather up from around the world, so preliminary word is funeral next Saturday, Nov. 30th.
I am familiar with death, having become rather close at a rather young age. But it comes so suddenly that shock still sets in. He was in Toastmasters for a long time; I'll bet he's got people in stitches on the other side of the veil.
