Well I guess death comes in twos sometimes except this time I was more prepared. My grandfather, Adam Theodore Herman past away this morning after a long battle of bone cancer, having beat pancreatic cancer years before. I post this because one of my ways of dealing with death is to embrace the lives of the people I love and talking about them with others always helps me.
He was an extraordinary man and a very gentle soul. After serving as a Naval pilot in WWII he was a captain for TWA flying 747's for 30 years. Up until 5 years ago he was playing hockey up against guys half his age. I was absolutely honored to have him in my family and cherished the time I got to spend with him even though it was not very often since he lived in Maine.
