Sorry for your loss, Fabian. But at the same time, you'll always have many great memories of him. Which no one can ever take from you and the people that he had an influence on.

Sorry Fabian, nearly everyone has that special person that they lose & will forever remember.
Its nearly the 41st anniversary of my own fathers death. The one thing he taught me was
an incredible amount of swear words & phrases. @#$%^*(?!    But I loved him & still miss him !!!  Cry

Grandfathers are very good for teaching mechanical and general work things. I learned a lot from mine as well.

Sorry to hear of your loss. In the pics he looks like a very loving grandfather-y guy.
