Default My grandfather passed away today...

One of my last memories with him was showing him my new Z06. He really liked this car. I told him when he felt better I would take him for a ride. I won't get the chance now.

Keep in mind what is important in your lives guys.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Sorry for your loss man. It's good that you got to spend time with your grandfather. I unfortunately never got to meet or spend time with either of my grandfathers since they both passed away before I was born.

I'm sorry for your loss, my friend. I pray he rests in peace.

Your Z was a catalyst for some great interaction in his last days, with you. Take that positive, and let it endure.

Peace to you and your family.

I'm sorry for your loss. Please remember this life..is the short one, and he is in his Fathers arms as MdZ06 posted.

I would hope any of my grandchildren care for me as much as you loved and respected your grandfather. It looks as both of you were loved by each other, Andy that is a great thing.

My condolences.

I wish that my parents could have seen me get into Corvettes. I think they would have been proud- and amused.
