Great shot, Mango. Everyone looks so happy!thanks for sharing.

...Happy Birthday, Grandpa! That is one awesome pic!

How wonderful, for all of you. I love the picture. Tell Grandpa Happy Birthday from me.

Awesome!

Happy Birthday to Gramps! Great photo Mango!

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to him from TEXAS!!

That's awesome...thanks for sharing Mango!

Seriously, there is no way anyone would think he is 101! Amazing!

Happy Birthday! Bring him to SoWal sometime.

Happy Birthday Grandpa. What sweet face he has. Give him a big hug and kiss for me Mangy!!!

Thanks y'all. I would love for Gramps to see Sowal but he has never been on an airplane. if he did go anywhere, it would have been the West. He has always relished the simple things in life and his happiness is derived from just being around family. He does get a kick out of seeing pictures of y'all, especially when everyone is dressed up on the beach having funn. He has lived waterside for over 50 years and it reminds him of the good times at the boat house, as well as the parties they used to have on the beach. He thinks we are all nuts, and he doesn't like it, he loves it. I will forward the hugs.
Then he will blush and giggle.

That's awesome

Congrats and here's to 102!

Just wanted to let those of you who enjoyed seeing pictures and stories of my Grandfather know that he passed away this morning. He would have been 103 on Halloween.

Up until a week ago, he was still living on his own, going shopping with his brother on Arthur Avenue in the City, making fresh apple sauce in the am for breakfast and most of his own meals. He fell, was brought to the hospital. He had a low white blood cell count now for about a year and was receiving transfusions, however, they stopped working.

We are relieved that he did not suffer, got to spend as much time with him as we did, but he will be sorely missed.

So sorry Mango. What a full life... and i'll bet you have many stories passed down from him. Thinking of you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!!

oh mangy. I'm thinking of all of you today!!! Such sadness to lose someone like Grandpa who has been there for all of your days. What a wonderful and long life he lived. Sounds like we could use some lessons from Grandpa!

Awww, Mango ... what sad news, but your posts about him brought smiles to our faces. I am glad he did not suffer. I hope you can have a good birthday hon. I suspect he would really want you to.

102 is quite a milestone - bet you have some great stories to share about him and many fabulous memories.

So sorry to hear this! I enjoyed the pics and stories you shared with us over the years about him. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear this, try to focus on the good memories you shared.

So sorry to hear this, Mango. I know Y'all will celebrate his life.....thinking of your family!!

Oh Mangy, I'm so sorry. You know I loved him even though I never met him. He had spunk. I like spunk. I'll be thinking of you and your family. What a blessing he must have been to you all.
