My Grandpa - James Pon (1916-2005)

I havent written much this week. Its been a hard week. My grandfather passed away last friday. He was 86 years old. But he was young at heart. I am going to miss him because he was always fun to talk to.
My Grandfather was the ultimate San Francisco 49er fan. He started it all many years ago. He had season tickets to the 49ers when they were in Kezar Stadium. Then when the moved to Candlestick Park, my Grandfather followed them, buying the season tickets every year. It is a tradition that is followed by my father and will be followed by me.
The most recent memory was taking my grandfather to see a WWE Event. Yeah that's right, Wrestling. turns out he is a big fan of wrestling. So the 3 generations went, Grandpa, Dad and me. It was a great show too. Grandpa enjoyed it alot. I'll never forget it.
Many years ago, Grandpa would visit us during the weekends for 49er games. but that wasn't the only thing. It was time for TOYS R US! We would go to Toys R Us and he'd buy me the latest Transformer. Yeah he spoiled me good.
Anyways his funeral is coming up on Wednesday and I guess it hasn't hit me yet. However when I get there and see Grandma, and see my Aunt and Uncle and cousins. And when the chair that Grandpa always sits in, he won't be there. Then I'll know he's not coming back. I'll miss my Grandpa.
