The new skis and season pass he left behind were in his obituary too.<br /><br />My grandma didn't learn to ski until she was 59... I can't imagine starting at 70.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948245388864770476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-36713293570006877532009-12-13T23:00:38.987-08:002009-12-13T23:00:38.987-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-41809087230907711932009-12-13T21:46:22.008-08:002009-12-13T21:46:22.008-08:00I'm sorry to hear about your Grandfather's...I'm sorry to hear about your Grandfather's passing.

I was wondering. My grandfather, too, was a pretty amazing guy who had a profound influence on me; I was devastated when I lost him a little over three years ago. That's why I didn't comment when you first announced your grandfather's passing; it hit a little too close to home for me. I wish you peace and solace at this difficult time.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-21829380399719681472009-12-13T09:23:49.664-08:002009-12-13T09:23:49.664-08:00What a remarkable life your grandfather led!
