my grandpap September 21, 1927 - November 8, 2004
well my grandpap died yesterday...it was expected...he held on for a long time but he was real sick... i was there when it happened...that was slightly shocking to have the E.M.S. there standing around asking questions and then hearing his last gasping breath...very weird...he has just been too sick all day and his frail body didn't have enough nutrients to keep his heart beating...but i think he is better now...atleast he doesn't have to deal with the pain anymore...and i am going to say this here because i know nobody else will ever admit it especially at the funeral...my grandpap wasn't a good guy...he was an ornery cuss with a bad temper...but he was human he has his good qualities...loved his family in his own way and tried to help them out the only way he knew how...with money...i remember some good things when i was little, walking on the train tracks with him in his home town of maynard ohio...he used to play this make believe game with me called race track and he would be the announcer and i would be the race horse...we used to look at stocks and his coin collection together...we had moments...but he was no saint and i really don't think he would want to be remembered that way...he lived to argue and sometimes he lived to make others miserable, that was who he was...
