Sorry for your loss, definitely someone to be proud of and look up to. My GP is still alive and he is one of those types,served in the Korean War, got a tooth pulled with no drugs, wrestled alligators, gave himself stitches, etc, just a hardcore old man. There aren't many men like that these days. What's a shame, is this was a man worth being recognized for his accomplishments, but what does TV recognize, wierdo/molestors like Michael Jackson.
not ascribing to the MJ taunt, i couldnt agree with you more about the rest...(at least MJ contributed to society).
its the losers like paris hilton and every flash in the pan actor and mainstream "muso" (read hot chick that can sing a little bit) - not to mention the athletes who are heralded as legends and theyve done nothing but run around on blessed genetics.
every year it seems that the australian of the year, or father of the year etc..is a sportsperson.
what about people like this guy's grandpa?..
people who work charity, full time jobs, feed and clothe their kids and have a disability?
how about those who work tirelessly donating their time towards helping others and the environment?
or those hard worked millionaires who made it on the back of work ethic and then give away thousands to the less fortunate?
no one knows who they are...
thats what is all crap about the world we live in.
money is , as they say, the root of all evil- even in recognition of others.
ok, done with my rant.
RIP to your gpa dude.
