Terry, I am so sorry your father passed away. Children and great grandchildren seem to have a special bond with their Grandpa so I am sure they will really miss him. I would have loved to have known him since he seemed to be a great role model and which we could certainly use more of in these days.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers and hope that soon fond memories will replace the pain you now feel in your hearts.
