My grandpa was a great man. I will always remember him he was such an impact in my life and I wish I could see him one more time. He is truly amazing. Every time when I visit grandma I always see pictures of grandpa and grandpa's stuff. I miss him so very much. I remember the day when my dad fell on his bed in tears. I asked him what is wrong he said grandpa is not doing so well. My dad's tears brung tears to the whole family. As he left on a road trip he got a call "please come home to dad, doctors said it won't be long." He found the next flight & he got on. Before he was at the hospital they took him off life support. Me, my mom, my brother took the next flight out for the funeral. absolutely worst time of my life letting this man you I love so much is gone. I wish I could just see him and talk to him one more time. I miss you grandpa - Posted by: Owen Rody (Grandson) on: Feb 19, 2015
