My grandfather owned his own business, that as it turned out contained asbestos, hence he died of lung cancer, and didn't smoke a day in his life. Since he died 23 years before my grandmother I'm thinking he was about 62 at the time.
Great photo of your mother, though.
My mom never really got over my grandfather's death. She was always closer to him then her mom. I'm thinking my grandfather was probably a little older then that, because I believe he was a few years older then my grandmother. We don't talk about that much with my mom because it depresses her so. My grandfather died two days before my mom's 1st grandchild was born. My oldest nephew was born on February 18, 1977. My grandfather died February 16, 1977.
