My mom's mother married and remarried so many times it was not funny (an astounding 5 times). At the time of my mothers birth, though, her name was Nellie Krahling. Laudico (try to stay with me here ) comes from her father Vincent Laudico, but by the time mom was born, Nellie had already divorced him and married Mr. Krahling (first name escapes me). Her maiden name was Nellie Wood.

I lived with my father all my life. He was a very intelligent man, but not too understanding. He was a bit abusive at times, but he didn't drink or anything like that. It was just him normally. He didn't smoke, either.

He taught me many things, like how to play chess, and how to figure cryptograms. He loved those and crossword puzzles. He was like the king of crossword puzzles.

All my life he was disabled. We had been in a car accident a long while ago and his leg got messed up, so he couldn't work. He became a bit lazy, but he had worked very hard up to about age 45 so from then on he kind of deserved being lazy. Up 'til we got into the accident he worked at Rich Products in Buffalo. So when we moved out to Arizona, he didn't do much. He got Social Security and disablity payments.

He volunteered a lot for about 6 or 7 years at old age homes and stuff. He was the best known driving volunteer at the Caring Corps, a now disbanded group of people who helped seniors get around.

I don't know what he would liked to be remembered for, but probabaly his smarts. Everyone wants people to remember them when they pass on, and he did too, even if not for a particular thing. He was a kind hearted man deep down, although to know him, it wouldn't seem like that most of the time.

About my Grandma, I knew her a bit before she died, by that I mean I was alive about 5 years before but really don't remember much. I think I may have a pic of me on her lap at Christmas. She died, I think, on Dec 4th and that we sprinkled her ashes up on Fremont's Saddle here (a mountain range [N 33° 24' 56.8", W 111° 21' 52.8"]). After Uncle Paul died, he went up there too, I hiked his ashes up. And then I did the same with my dad's. All three of their ashes are in the same place.
