My grandad was similar to what you describe and he had the most positive effect on me from all my family growing up. Thanks for the share, made me think of him.
RIP to both

"Successful people don't talk much. They listen and take action."
Your grandpa was wise, and those words are words I live by.
Your hero is standing at a bad posistion and deserved to die.

How nice. Use fear to get things done. If they question you shout and beat them.

I'm sorry but that is nothing to respect.

I know what you mean man.. My grandfather was an extremely wise man as well, and he has left quite an impact on me.. I think about him every day, even though its been 10 years since he died

RIP

5/5. Guy knows what he wants and by God, he's going to get it. Kindness for his family too. Baller.

He sounded like a good person. I liked the story. It's nice of you to share because now your grandpa has more or less had an effect on everyone who read the story. Who'd have known?

Now I want grand kids though.
