Grandpa Bob -- Robert Clayton Wysong -- died on June 1st, in the afternoon, after a long and lingering illness.

Until about a year before his death, in spite of lapses in memory, he was still able to function quite well; he could enjoy flowers and rides, enjoy his meals, watch TV, visit with his family and grandchildren, talk with people on the phone about all kinds of things, take walks and exercise, and do crossword puzzles and play a passable and interesting game of Scrabble. 

A brilliant, loving father and grandfather, he was not judgmental, but easy going and tolerant of the quirks and personalities of his wide-ranging family, including numerous grandchildren. 

Since it is so soon, there is a real possibility that some of Grandpa's grandchildren can't come, due to distances, work schedules, expense and other commitments. 

Please take a moment and write something in this blog -- to celebrate Grandpa's life with your reflections, memories, photos, stories and other thoughts. This blog, and your memories, will live on well beyond the day of the funeral. 

Grandpa's impact on your life is not just genetic; he also influenced your life in other ways. Let's honor him. Write all you want -- and write again, any time you wish, if you remember something you forgot the first time, or found a poem or photo you especially like...
