My grandfather, or "opa" in German, has recently passed away. It's been hard on the family on that side, but we're all doing OK.
Opa was one of the funniest guys I've known. He's always joked around, especially with busting on everybody's chops now and then. Even when he went a little far from time to time, you couldn't help but laugh (as long as you weren't on the receiving end of it). But aside from that, he was known for his stories too. He always had a good one to tell, and as an adult that was always the thing I looked forward to whenever I saw him. Any goofy story he had, any knowledge he imparted from what he knew, and even some of the good dirty jokes were always entertaining. It'll be hard for me to find tales like that now.
He won't be forgotten, and I know he made sure of that while he was around. Good job Opa. You did just that easily.
