He's had a bit of a hard life used to live in isle of white in his younger days nearly lost his life rowing Some rich bird out to her boat near the needles !!,he told me he worked all week
For £3 then used to box at weekend for £3 a match so never a dull moment lol
 then coming home one day to find his dad Had left home to go to the army and him and his 3 sisters no where to live he told Me how he slept under a boat for 4 months so he could go to work and pay for his sisters lodge He's worked all his life his first wife got killed by a lorry 50 years ago this year and my nan died with ms 20 years ago so he's had some crap go off on his life then just after Xmas he started getting abit of a belly bless him so I took him to go hospital things just went

I would have considered it a priviledge to have such a grandpa. 91 is a good innings when alls said and done. When the rawness subsides, you will still miss him, but maybe you will realise that his was a different time and comparing him to people today would be doing him an injustice.
He was a one-off.RIP.

Thanks for the kind words it means alot

My old man is 83 this year as your Grand dad was he's fit, still has his marbles and when I get in a jam working on the car he has one of the best work around brains ever. He went to sea at 14, joined the RAF and flew on the last active squadron of Wellingtons then went on to commercial flights. He is also one of my best mates not just a Dad. I will miss him terribly when the time comes. I feel for your loss. My deepest regret  to you and your family.

Thanks fella he was my best mate and he knew it about 2 hours b4 he went
I told him what a great person he was so at least I told him

Loosing anyone close is difficult  but to cancer is a very sad way to go feel for you but as Steve said he did get to the ripe old age of 91 an acheivement in itself i think nowadays. sounds a character and lots to always remember about him.

my farther in law your typical Londoner old school, retiered 65 dustman had a lump on his neck thought it was from bins etc turned out it was cancer 2 weeks later gone, just bloody retierd. Makes you more aware to enjoy the times you have with people. Wifey also lost her daughter @15 who was autistic, we talk about them all the time some times you roar with laughter some times we cry but they are always with you, you never loose them

its very sad for those that have worked so hard or struggled in life to not see them enjoy life but i am sure he was happy in his own right with his grandson, hard to find the posatives at times but they are always there. and as you said life goes own sure he would be very proud

sorry for you and your familys loss

I lost my mother last year she was just 59 yrs old when passed away. Hard times matey hard to understand and hard to live with the lack of beloved person.

Sorry for your loss.
