Safe Travels, GGPa

On Wednesday evening, November 23, 2011, Sid Smith - realtor, artist, congressional candidate, "sum-bitch", story teller, grandfather, newspaper man, loving husband, part-time grouch, full-time stand-up citizen, jeweler, Jew, and twenty some-odd winner of the Capital 10,000 race - passed away.  He was one month shy of being 101 years old.  Born on Christmas Eve, he died on Thanksgiving Eve.  Ironically, two holidays I don't think he cared much for.  But he cared much for his family, and we for him.  We will miss you GGPa.  I will miss you.

Well put. And, I too will miss him. It is hard to believe his booming voice is quiet.
