Obituary

My grandfather passed away this morning.

I remember him as a retired US Navy officer, engineering branch. A graduate of Annapolis, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. A collector and restorer of antique cars, a sailor, and a model railroader.

And despite all that, someone I never quite managed to connect to the way I would have liked. Perhaps, I realize, because we were even more alike than I had ever thought.

He is survived by his two daughters.
