Before you read his obit, please read his grandson's plea for help to bury him. His grandson's mother needs help financially. He is asking for donations to have his grandfather properly buried where he had hoped to always be buried. His mother just does not have the funds right now. Listen to his plea and donate if you can to his GoFundMe page which I will post at the end...
"I know during this time life is really tough. I'm not asking for much, just some help to bury my grandfather in the place he wanted to be buried... If anything, I'm asking for hope."
"A while back, before great Grammy got sick and later passed away, I gave the small rock to my grandpa and told him whenever he felt down, depressed and alone, to take this stone from his pocket and hold it in his hand. I said that we might be far apart when you hold this rock in your hand I will be right beside you. My grandfather gave me the biggest hug and told me he love me. On the night of the 22 of November 9:10pm, I found the rock in my grandfather's belongings. I burst into tears. He held on to that rock for a whole year up until he was hospitalized and later passed away."
"We can't bury my grandfather without the money to do so. I know it's Christmas soon and people want to get gifts for people they love. I'm asking for a little bit of help to give my mom and our family a little bit of peace knowing Grampy's wishes were achieved. Any and all help will be more than appreciated."
