Grandpa Paul

Last Thursday my Grandpa was given 1 week to live after being in diabetic coma, a heart attack and a seizure all at the same time. We were able to go up and see him on Friday with the kids. Grandpa was stubborn as ever and would not eat.The kids brought a smile to his face which was nice to see.

On Sunday I felt I needed to go up and see him. This time it was just Lily and I. He was only about 25% there mentally. My plan was to go up on Tuesday but I just did not feel like I was meant to go that day. On Wednesday Morning about 7AM my Dad called to tell me he passed away at 1AM. And also Tuesday would not have been a good day to go up. He was not mentally there and was just repeating everything that was said in the room.

He was a sweet little old man that loved life. He worked for GM as an experimental engineer. He also served in the Military. My Grandparents were married for 54 years. He had 2 children, 8 grandchildren (6 biological) and 2 great-grandchildren.
