Grandpa Harold has Left Us

Last Sunday, the 14th of May, my grandpa Harold, or "step Grandpa" (he married my grandmother in 1982 or somewhere around there) passed away after a long struggle with cancer. He is a World War II veteran and fought in the 75th Infantry Division which joined the war on D+190. He earned the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Combat Infantryman's Badge during his time in Europe. He was the only person I really ever talked to that fought in WW II. I was very young when my biological grandfather died so Harold was really the only grandpa I ever really knew. He and my Grandmother traveled to Europe several times and visited me and my family while my dad was stationed in Italy and Germany. Everyone in my family really loved him and he will be sorely missed. My grandmother is a terrible wreck after this great loss. Everyone is with her supporting her through these rough times. I can only pray that she comes through in the end and is able to gather her life back together and continue on strong as she has always been. For a link to his memorial, click Here.
