I shit you not, this is my great granfather:

He died about 3 years ago now. They may as well have used his portrait to draw up the old man from Up. It really was amazing to me.

That said, he'd lost 2 wives to cancer before I was even born. I never knew him as part of a love story or even a marriage. He was just Great Grandpa so it really didn't have an impact on me because I just couldn't swing the connection.

I've always just thought it was amazing how similar he looked.

Oh, and I voted Basterds...
