My Papa, Biological Father's Father, has died...
9 years ago
General
This blue book with green and yellow bindings says, "The Personal Diary and Record Book of Vinchenzo."
He died, in his sleep, and if anything, it was peaceful, and for some, not unexpected.
He had Parkinson's, and while he was clear and focused with his mind as ever, sadly he was bedridden. He lost the ability to use his legs months ago... he was also slowly losing the ability to use his arms and hands, though he continued to want independence using them for things, which we respected.
His death is a shock to me, as he could have lived longer, but didn't. Then again, he was 90, and just because lots of people have died around the age of 100 and over lately, does not mean his life was perfect. I thought his life would end when it would become unlivable, or him being 100.
Frederick Gayder, loving father, grandfather, a patriotic Marine, a lawful Police Chief, RIP.

Its rare in the present to see people like him, losing him is a huge loss... especially when corruption in the military and law enforcement is so plentiful.
I always wanted him to be present when someday I would become a law enforcement officer, or the military. He won't be present now...
I'm wondering what to do... every bit of dedication I have to law enforcement and the military comes from people I'm related too, and the eldest of them have been dying one after another...
I feel like shit that I couldn't help them live longer, and live happier... the most I can do is try to carry on the family legacy like I promised... at then they'll be proud of me... they will be happy...
