The Fureys - The Old Man

After agreement from the rest of my family I'm uploading this personal family memorial to my Grandfather.

The song is by The Fureys (Finbar included) and is from the their Essential's album.

I miss him 'My old man' :-(

I noticed you Dad died soon after your Mum.

People say you can't die of a broken heart - Another example to me that you certainly can.

God Bless them both.

@reilly1926 He was my grandfather...

& that's what my family think... Though officially it was a massive stroke and multiple organ failure.

Thank you for your touching comment Reilly.
