This week we are saddened by the death of my Grandfather. A feisty, spunky 92 year old who lived on his own until checking himself into the hospital 3 weeks ago with an infection. My mother and my Great-Aunt Margaret have spent the last 2 weeks by his side, holding his hand and caring for him. Affectionately called Cap by his grandchildren, he was a true outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing and boating.
