Your grandfather was a kindhearted man; reminds me of my Irish /Scottish stepdad. He was exactly the same way as his heart went out to the less fortunate even when he had little himself during and after the Great Depression.

He's lucky to have had you and your mom remember his good and selfless deeds.
