I know this story to be true but I can't give names and dates. I did meet ''Grandpa's Boy'' when he was an old man. He has been dead for many years. He remained a beloved family member all of his life.
I'm so glad you found it interesting.

Ah, I see, old man been dead many years. So that's the time period we're talking about. I can see that happening back then. Sad that he had to go door to door looking for a new family, but happy ending is that he found a new family.
