#1 Grandpa is dead

As of approximately 9 PM tonight (my time) My Grandfather Melvin Stuck died from complications relating to a massive stroke. Even had he "survived" the stroke, he was essentially in a vegetative state. A small solace is that his death spared my grandmother of the burden of deciding whether or not take to take him off life support.
He is survived by his wife Florence Stuck, his six children, and thirteen grandchildren. He lived a long, good life and will be sorely missed.

I am deeply sorry for your lost my friend. I know what it's like to lose a grandparent. From the stories you told of him he sounded like quiet a guy and the world is poorer for his passing.

You have my sympathies, especially since from your description on SDN you were close to your grandfather up until the end.
