Albert Edward Maybury

Grandpa Al passed away this morning at about 11:30 AM.  He just turned 94 last week (I think and someone correct me if I am wrong).  He came to America from England when he was young.  Edna, his dear wife passed away about 30 years ago.  He has been lonely and talked so fondly of her.  His only son, Kyle's dad, passed away almost 3 years ago.  I remember at the funeral Al wouldn't stop crying because he was so upset that his son passed away before he did.  It was awful and broke our hearts.
Grandpa Al has had a lot of health problems in the last few years.  He has been in and out of the hospital a number of times.
We knew his time on earth was coming to an end.  It will be weird not having him around.  He came to everything, when he could, and was always up for a good joke.  I loved hearing his darling British accent.  I know he is happy.  I can't imagine how wonderful it was for Al to see his sweet Edna again.  I am also sure Al was pleased to see his son.  I know we will see Al again some day.  I thought I would post some pictures of Al to celebrate the life he lived.
