Yeah it was\is tough but hes in a better place and doesn't have to deal with the pain anymore which is good.  i think my uncle was harder than my grandpa just because i was younger when he passed and i wasn't as close to him as i was to my uncle.  thanks for the kind words..its hard to let a loved one go but i just keep telling my self hes in a better place and has moved on.
