I have some bad news this morning. Just got this from Lynette. 
Hi. I am not sure if Uncle Willie has informed you, or Ben, that Grandpa passed away Thursday (June 29th) It kind of came to all of us as a BIG SHOCK. The reason I say this, is because Ben's grandma (his mom's mom) was expected to pass away at any given moment. They gave her 2 days to 2 weeks to live. She made it a week and a half and passed away on Tuesday (June 27th) then we get a phone call Friday morning telling us grandpa passed away. Both funerals are today. Grandpa will be having a military burial. Ben will receive his flag. If you have any questions, please let me know.

The man she is referring to was one of the guys in my dad's motor pool, Ernest Joy. His photos has been on my desk for well over a year and I look at it every day. I am heartbroken this morning. Man I hate getting this kind of news...
Ernest is second from left, top row.
