My great uncle John passed away last night at about 9:30 PM CST. He was 93 years old

I talked to my dad this morning and he said that John passed away peacefully but the pneumonia became to much for him.

A bit of backstory: John fractured his hip on Friday and had surgery over the weekend. Following the surgery, he developed pneumonia so that's what did it.

I know he lived an amazing life and I didn't know him as well as I wanted too but that still doesn't make this any either

I'm so sorry about your great-uncle. It sounds like he was a great guy.

I just wish I had gotten a chance to know him better. He was in the early stages of dementia when I started to know him.

I feel the same way about my grandfather. When I was very young I remember him being kind and patient, but as I hit my teens he started to fade away, and any real conversation with him was impossible. :-(
