DennisLinkletter Posted May 26, 2010 Report Posted May 26, 2010 My grandfather, Arthur Gordon Linkletter - July 17, 1912 – May 26, 2010 Thank you all for you condolences and kind words. I was very fortunate to have flown back on the 7th and spent almost two weeks of quality time with with him before he left. The first two days I was there were the last two days he had dinner at the table so my timing was perfect. He lived a life as full as one could ever dream about and by the time I left we had discussed life and passing and he was ready to go.. He said his goodbyes to family and close friends and left us in his sleep this morning. I know he was at/had found peace when I left to go home. I found a great quote for him that I'm sure he followed, "When your ship comes in, swim out to it.." I'm happy for him, it was his time and he was ready. Great man, so proud to have known him and to carry his name. I know he's smiling at us somewhere.
