My Grandpa Laney passed away early this morning. My dad was able to be there with him and said it was very peaceful.
Had had an amazing life in his 89 years! He lived through attacks on Pearl Harbor in WWII, raised a family of 7 with my grandma, started and owned a successful business until he retired, and even owned the first color TV in Lehi, Utah. He was also a very talented photographer and wonderful story teller. Grandpa was so welcoming of everyone and especially of Mike, which really made me very happy.
I will miss him, but I'm so happy and proud of the life he led and the example he has always been to me and my family. He was an amazing husband, father and grandfather. I know it was his time to go and I'm happy he was surrounded by family and love when the time came.
I love you, Grandpa!
