My Grampa Jack

Grampa Jack never seemed to change. This was 3 years ago; anybody who's seen Andy knows HE has sure changed. But my Grampa Jack looked pretty much just like this for as long as I knew him.
Rose has 3 cousins younger than she is. Grampa Jack's oldest great-grandchild is almost 17, and the youngest are 6 year-old twins.
Here is my Grampa Jack with Daddy (Jack Jr.) and Auntie Jill. (Yes, they're named Jack and Jill- my Grandma Marge was like that. Auntie Jill was born 10 years after Daddy.)
A photo from his WWII service was reproduced on his birthday cake.

Sounds like he was cracking jokes right up to the end. We'll miss him, but danged if I'm not pleased with him for slipping away on his own terms.

Sounds like he was a great guy and I enjoyed the pictures. Thinking of you.

Wonderful pictures. Jack and Jill--I love that. I'm sorry for your loss, and it is always still a loss no matter how expected.

Extra hugs from here.
