From my aunt Virginia this morning:
With deep regrets to inform you that Grandpa Jack Slater passed away on Saturday night. We are doing ok, he was ready to go rather than being in the hospital and waiting for the pain to get worse. We will have a service for him sometime later in the week.
This is the same grandfather whom me and Tamara went to visit this summer. I had not seen him in 12 years. It is sad to see that he has passed but he had been living with cancer for a lot longer than he was supposed to and he lived a pretty good life.
He is in fact the very reason I got into computers at all. As a young kid, he introduced me to my first computer where I learned to play games, and started programming. That launched me into where I am today and I will always remember that. He was an awesome man and even though we have not been that close in recent years, I will miss him. Thanks for getting me started on this path grandpa and I know you are in a far better place with grandma now.
