Hey Coldfire,
Sorry to hear about your gramps.
My paternal grandfather died before he was one. Leukemia in 1960 was a death sentence.
My maternal grandpa died in 1978. He was WWI generation, but ended up stationed down in Georgia because he could play a flute. They needed him for a band. Good thing, as grandma's brother got mustard gassed. (My mum was a surprise baby when they were 40.)
Maternal grandma died in 1988. Paternal one in 2000. Both were around 90 years old.
