The Loss of everyone's favourite Grandpa

Tweet

Those in the entertainment field have had it rough this year. So many have been lost to us, from singers David Bowie and Glenn Fry, actor Alan Rickman, and now one reason why I was a fan of the reality series, Gold Rush. Gold Rush follows several groups of goldminers in the Klondike and Alaska, and one of my favourites to watch is Parker Schnabel, and especially his grandpa, John. John, who adores Parker, was full of honest wisdom about both mining and life, and whenever he appeared, I couldn't help but smile. Today, sadly, Mr. Schnabel passed away at the very grand and venerable age of 96. Sigh. Everyone should have a grandpa like John Schnabel. He is going to be missed by a lot of people.
