Hey guys. Whats up??? I got kind of a s#itty day tomarrow. My grandfather died about 4 months ago and we are having the service tomarrow(9-8-07). We waited untill my Uncle(youngest of 5 boys) got home from Iraq. My Grandma passed about 4 years ago in Lake Geneva WI. When Grandma died Gramps moved down to Adams TN. It is about 600mi from his closest relative. He did good for awhile, he built a new deck and threw on a new roof and tuckpointed the chimney. Then one S#Itty day he had a massive stroke. It sucks. I only knew him for 24 out of 76 years. He taught me more about life than I will ever understand. Thanks to my Grandpa I have the job I do today. I am a 5th generation Mason. My Greatgrandfather had his gold card(50 years in the masonry union) and my grandfather had 25 in before he became a concrete salesman. Anyways, here is to a great man that made my life possible.Gerald Joseph Forbes...11/22/30-05/15/07

 

Sorry for your loss. I lost my grandfather several years ago and I still miss him like hell. Just remember all the good times you together and all he taught you.

 

RIP Grandpa Forbes
