A well written piece, I’m truly sorry to hear about your grandfather. However it sounds like he left a legacy in you. I’m sure you’ve helped a lot of people through this blog and that is a testament to your character and your legacy.

First, and most importantly, I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather’s passing. He sounds like an awesome man, and I’m sure you agree. I personally feel that leaving a lasting legacy is about the most important thing a parent or grandparent can do for this kids (and grandkids). That legacy can be financial, informational, or both. I try to pass on the wisdom to my kids to do things for themselves, including managing money and investments, but also how to live a good life without being dependent on others. We’ll find out how good we’ve done when they are old enough to leave!
