I'm a week late on this, but better late than never, right?
On Tuesday, November 12, 2013, Henry Thomas, my great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home at the age of 99. He was a WWII veteran who received a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. He was the only great-grandfather I ever knew, and the last of my great-grandparents to pass away. I was glad to have met him, and especially glad I got a final chance to say good-bye at his 99th birthday party I had mentioned in a previous post. I attended his viewing last Saturday, November 16th, and his funeral yesterday, November 18th. I wish my great-grandfather a pleasant afterlife, and thank him for his military services.
Farewell Great-Granddaddy.
