My grandfather and my uncle both died from colorectal cancer my dad almost died from it and I have the gene for it.
My grandfather along with Carnegie was a pioneer in philanthropy which my father then practiced on a very large scale.
Yes my grandfather worked with Thomas Edison on the electric car and he sold electric cars at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris.
I wasn't going to get such a nice car - I was going to get a cute little hybrid or something keep the trees happy - but then my grandfather died and it was all: retail therapy!
Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed the principles that were known to our grandfathers.
I met my grandfather just before he died and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.
My grandfather was a man when he talked about freedom his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities that then gave you the liberty to do other things.
It is really quite amazing that all of the folks supporting privatization from the president on down keep invoking the name of my grandfather Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
My grandfather was one of the most amazing Baptist ministers in history he was unbelievable. He was one of the most amazing men - the most amazing man that I ever met... He lived an amazing life.
I know that my grandfather is 92 years old. And he has seen this country evolve in amazing ways. He looks at South Carolina and he says wow what an amazing state that we have the blessing to live within because of the evolution.
