RIP Grandpa and Thank You

Well my Grandpa died Saturday at the age of 98.
He was a WWII vet he went in through Italy when they stormed Juno Beach and I thank him for that.

My Grandma was a War Bride and her and my Mom(@2 years old) came to Canada from Scotland.
Grandpa met up with them after the war. Grandma passed away a long time ago.

I made my kids sit down and listen to his stories of the war and why we have such a great country to live in.


Thanks Grandpa and RIP

If anyone has a drink in thier hand lets all cheers my Grandpa.

RIP and condolences to you and your family. My young lad just finished a speech on the D Day landings , which was great opportunity to remind the kids about the sacrifices that the members of our armed forces make. I'll tip one to him.

RIP the veteran!!

Condolences RB.

That I will find out when I'm in London on Wednesday and thank you for your Dads service

Thank you everyone yes he's had a good life except for the last year or so

Condolences sir, I always loved listening to my own grandfathers war stories. As stated our ww2 vets are of an age that soon we will only have memories, it's a sad thought but a reminder to us all that we must be thankful for what we have today because of what our grandparents gave yrs ago.

Sorry to hear RB..
Beer in hand...cheers and thankyou for your services, sir.

Cheers to your grandpa! Sorry for your loss. May he RIP.

Condolences to you and your family. My grandfather was at Juno as well but took a different path through to Holland. We can't thank them enough...

My Condolences, I got my grandmother to write out alot of what she could remember of the family history. If he didn't maybe spend some time writing for your kids (and grandkids etc.).

God Bless

I thank him for his service and may he rest in peace.

Kev, very sorry to hear about your loss. RIP...

RIP to your Grandpa. I raise my wine to him. Thanks for your service, and your legacy.

RIP and my condolences

Hard to picture your grandparents as a young active couple but they really were, in most cases. We can often remember our parents but not the previous generation.

Good recommendation. I've been able to trace back to the early 1700s on my Father's side ,and it really does something to your sense of family.
