Farewell grandpa

Early this morning, my grandpa passed away after fighting pneumonia for over three weeks.
According to the nurse, he died peacefully in his sleep.

Rest in Peace.

My condolences for your loss, Dowly. It sounds as though he was a large part of your life, and for that I am certain that both of you were grateful.

Sorry to hear of your loss. May he rest in peace. Looks like a very nice man.
I lost all my grandparents a very long time ago but even to this day I still remember them with great love. Hope you will have the same remembrances.

Grandpa was laid to rest today, next to his parents and his daughter.

Ceremony was nice, relatives and closest friends were present.

One of his oldest friend from Sweden came all the way here to take part
and at my grandpa's grave he only whispered "Kamrat".

EDIT: Oh and my grandpa was in the bandy team that won the national championship
in '53 or '54, one of his old teammates attended.

God bless him, and his friend from Sweden for being able to attend. Glad that he had a good send off.

Sorry to hear that, Dowly.

It makes me think that someday we will all have to face it
