My grandfather, and one of the most influential men in my life, passed away last night after a miraculously long life with Pancreatic Cancer (he was diagnosed 6 1/2 years ago).
Please pray for John's soul, and for strength for my grandmother Priscilla and for our family! (For the clergy keeping track, they are both Orthodox.)
I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live. John 11:25

Fr. George,
Your grandfather was an incredible human being who will be missed by the many thousands of people he helped throughout his life, including myself.
Memory Eternal!

I'm sure he was a very great man and quite a fighter too for battling cancer that long.
May the Lord have mercy on your family.
