Back in Boston

for a week. For a very sad reason. Here is the FB posting of my son:

My maternal grandfather passed away today. He has been in very poor health for a while now. 

It is hard for me to reconcile my recent memories of him with the older ones, where he was such a smart, vibrant man. I remember being really impressed by the amount of poetry he could remember and tell wonderfully.

This picture from my wedding is how I will remember him forever.
