Farewell Grampy Bobby

Where did time go? It used to be that the elderly maintain respect and reverence in a community. Life and times of the young blood vs. the old and the wise. Safe sailing, Grampy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are you going to let him/her call you "elderly" and get away with it?

Fact - username, and the history of his posts. No disrespect intended. We all get to travel that road sooner or later. All the best to you and yours, Andy.

I'd knock his block off with my cane, and then speed away with my walker! Damned whippersnapper!

Bobby isn't as old as you seem to think.. though he does play the age card whenever it suits
his purpose. I've been traveling the road a bit longer than Bobby, and I don't consider myself
"elderly." That sad little adjective sprang to life as a euphemism for old, but too often these
days it also suggests infirmity or feebleness. I am older (76), and I'll let you know when I'm
ready to be elderly. But don't hold your breath.

Thanks for your good wishes.

Honestly, I miss him already. Hard to believe it's really going to happen this time.
Hard to believe we won't see him posting anymore. But alas...

The thing I remember most about GB is the way the room lit up when he
walked in. I was never quite sure if it was his beaming personality or the
5,000 watt lamp he carried around with him. But rooms simple lit up.

Farewell GB. Your legacy will live on. 4eva.

Another séance?

at 76 you've moved beyond 'elderly'

Not at all. It's just my personal campaign against discriminatory labeling and premature aging.
