Even the birds are mourning


My Grandfather passed away last night.  It was expected... he's been suffering from bladder cancer.  All the same, the world now has a shortage of awesome and I'm sad.  He's been one of the biggest inspirations in my life.  Intelligent, hard-working, creative, kind.  He was career Navy, a WWII vet, an avid bird-watcher, was pulling tree stumps in his late 60s (maybe 70s, I'm terrible with ages), and used to grow tomato plants taller than him.  I wrote a whole post on what an awesome carver he was, go take a look and be amazed.

I'll miss you, Grandpa 'Let.  I hope Heaven has more birds than you can name.
