On 11/11/11 my step grandfather Gene McGibony Passed away! Kinda surprising but not!  As long as I can thing 10 maybe 20 years he had been suffering from breathing issues , I think he had COPD. His health had been declining for so many years. My sister and I would always say that we would give him a couple of years. But, by our surprise he always surpass that by far.  The doctors pretty much said the reason he had lasted so long was because he worked out almost everyday.  I wasn't super close to him growing up he and my grand mother where married about 40 years. He was really serious and when I was little and spend the night with them he would get so upset if I played to loudly, I mostly stayed home with my Paw Paw Honea. 

As a child

Mr. Muscels 1955

late 1970's

2004

But as I got older I appreciated him more.  He and my Nan thats what I called my grandmother bought a Pizza Resturant called Tony's Pizza.  I loved hanging out there. I remember washing dishes on the weekends.  I didn't get payed that much. but I really enjoyed doing it.  

Other Facts about Mac (my step grandfather) In 1955 he was Mr. Muscels Atlanta. He loved working out. He liked his beer and he loved my Gandmother! I know he will be missed he is the only Great Grandfather on my Mom's side of the family that My kids as well as my sisters kids know.  My moms siblings didn't really care for him due to the fact he isn't my Paw Paw, so they never really brought there kids around him. It is sad how people are. I will admit. I haven't seen him too much sinch Nan passed away 1 1/2 years ago. He kind was to himself he slept or not home. Thanks me and mostly my family we always made sure he was fed and doing as well .

I know he is gonna be missed by many. Today is his visitation 2-4pm 6-8pm tomorrow is the service and he will be cremated and placed at the foot of my granmothers grave.
