Should I ask to keep something of my Grandfathers?
My grandfather just passed at the beginning of the week. He was such a huge part of my life and I'm going to miss him so much. He had three boys and each of them had two children so I know a lot of the family will probably want something personal to remember him by. My grandmother is still alive but has mild Alzheimer's so I don't know if they are going to keep things around the house so that she doesn't get confused. They were together for 73 years. Is it ok to ask my dad and uncles if I could have one of his watches? Something I could actually wear from time to time (no pun intended)? A few years ago he randomly called me up and asked if I wanted his mothers car (mid 60's Ford that he had sitting in storage) that he was holding on to, because he knew how much I liked it. My other cousins had asked multiple times for it over the years but he chose to let me have it. It hasn't ran in 20+ years but I would still go out and clean and wash it off. He also gifted my wife and I some land before he passed so that we may build our first home, since he knew we were looking to stay in the area. I don't want to seem greedy and I'm very thankful for the things he did and gave to me but I just feel like the watch would be more sentimental, knowing that he had it on and looked down at the time over the years. Thoughts?
Definitely.
Yes, ask. They don't know is you say nothing.
> Is it ok to ask my dad and uncles if I could have one of his watches?
Absolutely. Talk to your father about this and explain your concerns. He may or may not be able to get you your grandfather's watch, but you have nothing to lose.
Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of your grandfather.
Yes
I would ask for the corvette
Of course you should ask! And if there's something specific he promised, or that reminds you of him, there's no reason you couldn't ask for that item.
If you and he were close, hopefully whoever distributes his stuff will realize you're asking for remembrance, not trying to hoard all the goodies. And if they think that, it's on them, not you, and their opinion isn't significant.
You're the best judge of whether you should go through your dad or just speak directly to them. But when my grandparents died, we all went through this. I actually asked for their piano, because my grandfather loved hearing me play and I did it for him frequently.
I'm sorry about your grandfather. Yes, ask. They may be able to honor your request, depending on if he had a will and the local laws.
I don't see anything wrong with asking for it
- Should I replace my 99 Ford Ranger 3.0 auto with a 302 or keep stock? My 99 Ranger is starting to die at the engine and transmission. I'm planning to keep the truck because it's sentimental but should I replace the 3.0 with a 302 or should I either rebuild the 3.0 or replace with another 3.0?
- How to give an idea for something to like Chevy or ford or something? I have an idea that I know would make a lot of money for them but I want to tell them, not anyone else about it, and should I try and patent it first?
- Should I get a new car or keep paying off my current one? I have a 2013 Ford Fusion with about 58,000 miles on it. I commute to work everyday, and my job requires me to travel, so I've really put the miles on. The original loan amount was $25k, and I have about $14k left on it. I was considering buying a different car and trading in my Fusion. Would that be a stupid idea? Should I just pay the car off?
- I have a 2008 Ford Focus, how many more years should it last providing that I keep taking care of it? My Ford Focus was semi expensive, but I bought it because I read that they tend to last longer and keep people safe. Henry Ford makes great cars! But, I still have a year left on my car loan so.I'm wondering how many more years it has on in it's lifetime. ***Henry Ford *made great cars (typo)
