Grandpa Yibby

My Grandpa Yibby passed away last night around 840pm. I was driving back from Greensboro last night and thought I would try to call him...I just looked at my phone and I tried to call him 6 minutes after he passed away. I knew there was a reason I picked up the phone to call him, but it went straight to voice mail. He was surrounded by Uncle Jim, Aunt Sue and his lady friend Betty. His breathing started to change while he was sitting in his favorite chair, and then took his last breath. He's been fighting a very hard fight with cancer since January and he won the fight. I say won because he's back with his wife and out of pain. I will miss him very much...his laugh, his humor, and him singing the "sow song" at the family weddings in his red linen blazer. Here are a few pictures of Grandpa and the boys including a video of them saying "Bibby" which is what they called him. No arrangements have been made just yet, but will be within the next few days. We love you Grandpa and are glad you are out of pain and back with Grandma Jeanne....tell her we love her and miss her too!!!
