Carol, thank you so much for the update. That's very sad news indeed. There aren't many members of the Greatest Generation left, and it's distressing to know that he may be leaving us. When Graydon was based at North Island Naval Air Station at the end of WW II, I was living a few miles away going through my terrible twos. I've often wondered if Mom and I ever passed him on the street in downtown San Diego. His posts always have been enjoyable and informative, and I have hoped if I reach my 90s I would be half as sharp as he is.
My best wishes for a peaceful transition. He'll have a lot shipmates waiting to greet him on the other side.

We never had any direct contact but I always considered him to be one of the more reasoned and respected contributors here. Please take comfort in knowing he is someone who will genuinely be missed. May his transition be easy and his homecoming grand.

We miss him. He and family will be in my prayers. He has my respect.
Thank you for letting us know what is going on. When I get on the Forum, I always looked for posts from him. Tell him God Speed on his journey home. I will be looking him up when I get to heaven.
We’ve all received wisdom and great advice from the man. He will be in my prayers.
Thank you Carol.
Graydon is part of our family here. His sincere interest in the welfare of everyone here is evident in his post to the forum and likewise we care for him immensely. Let him know of our love and concern. When one of us was sick, he would always be the first to as how we were doing and ask for updates.
Prayers from my corner for Graydon, you and all his family.

Many Prayers for Graydon and family. Thank you for posting.
Graydon has been a much-followed institution on this forum, Carol. Please give him my sincere thanks and appreciation for his participation here. I am sad that we can no longer be the beneficiaries of his observations. May God bless him.

Tell him a lot of us are going to look him up in the next life. Like to meet him and shake his hand.
Very sad news indeed! Thank you for taking the time to share this with his extended S&W family and please tell him our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
We never met face to face, but it has been an honor to "know" him through his posts. He'll be remembered by the folks on this forum for a very long time.
Prayers and thoughts from RI. We exchanged posts a few times. I as will many, will miss him
Prayers sent for Graydon from Central New York State.

So sorry to hear this. My best to your dad and prayers sent!
My thoughts and Prayers are with your family and you Father. Never met him but you could tell he a good soul. God Bless
A true gentleman and an example we should all strive to follow. He will be missed on this forum, but not as much as I am sure your family will miss him.
