Thank you for that story. It goes to show that there is no substitute to responsibility and a strong work ethic (unless of course your grandfather made millions off of bootlegging and insider trading).
You're entirely welcome. thanks for letting me share. I miss that man EVERY day. He died four years ago at age 89, while taking his afternoon nap in his favorite chair. We should all be so lucky!
And, no. He made his "millions" in legitimate real estate transactions and as a Machinist and Sheet Metal fabricator for the most part.
Blue Collar for all of us, all the way. No better life, actually. ;)
