NFT: Laid another Giants fan to rest yesterday.

My grandfather passed away on Saturday at the ripe old age of 97. Some of my fondest memories of watching Giants games are with him. We were very close and I simply wanted to honor him by posting this picture of him at the end of WWII.

Very sorry for your loss

I know it won't help the pain but I have to say that it's awesome that he lived to the age of 97 and that you had all those years with him.

Sorry for your loss

Looks like a cool guy in that picture and god bless him living 97 years. My dads 91 and we still watch the games on Sunday and I dread the day that ends.
Sorry for your loss

97 is a great run, hopefully you get some of that DNA.



Sounds like he had a helluva life

sorry for your loss. He was a great man who served his country. I am sure you are very proud of him, as he was of you. RIP. God bless.
My condolences

Looks like he had a full life. 97 - Wow. My dad was also in WWII and is in his 90's and not doing all that well. I don't think he'll reach 97. But you never know. There are fewer and fewer WWII vets left and the time will come (probably in the next 15 years or so) when there are no more of them left. They certainly were the greatest generation.

I am sorry for your loss.

when i was 16. Instilled my love for the giants and was a WW2 in hell. Miss him every day. May your grandfather RIP and hoping yours and mine can have a drink up there and reminisce about the giants.

as well* not in hell. Oops
My condolences.

I look at a photo like that and wonder, where was his mind that day? Fascinated by that sort of thing ... where was he going, what was he doing? That 1-second was just a sliver of that entire day, and that era of a nearly-century-long life. Crazy.
So sorry for your loss. May your grandfahter rest in peace.
