I have an uncle who has been given the executor duties over the estate of my grandfather.  My grandfather is currently still alive but has not been looking the greatest over the past year.  He is only getting worse, and the family is now starting to worry.  I think the best thing they can do is get him to the mid west where the rest of the family is so that he can be taken care of properly up to his last days.  I hope that the rest of his life is full of great memories with family and friends, not alone out west.
