Bury the joke and spend the pension on a blow out Irish wake for him.

So, you're just going to keep him at home until Monday?

ya, and if you get caught, you'll will go to prison most likely

Not such a good idea -- a doctor will be able to tell that your grandfather had been dead for longer than you want to admit when s/he writes the death certificate, which is required for burial or cremation. You might end up being reported to the local authorities. Not to mention the karmic consequences! At any rate, you may be eligible to inherit from your grandfather's estate.

Why not think about the real issue...You have a dead grandfather, call someone.... it's the moral correct thing to do..and the most deserving of his memory. And after, think of some therapy for yourself. Questioning what to do online is very disturbing. . .
Is the money/pension worth this?
Do the right thing. . .!

Such juvenile stupidity. This is not the place for such jokes. We are not here for these games. Play your games somewhere else.

We don't joke about dead people here, we research them.

I guess since you call yourself Honestjohnny people should see the joke, but this is the genealogy board and people aren't prepared for that type of humor.

My celley just got out! His bunk is empty

The fact that you had to come back some time later and make the comment "Hasn't ANYONE realised it was a JOKE"

would indicate that WE don't share your same pathetic sad sense of humour.

IT WASN'T FUNNY.

I just now came across your question and was all set to lend a sympathetic ear, UNTIL I read some of the other answers and your PS.
Death of a grandparent--or any loved one--is nothing to laugh at, or make jokes about. My own grandfather passed on in 1991, and simply on the word of my cousin saying grandchildren were not "close enough relatives" to visit him in his last moments in an intensive care room, I did not get to tell him I loved him and to say good-bye.
My grandparents were not rich and famous, by any means. In fact, he had to quit school at age 11 to help his mother raise his brothers and sisters after his father was killed. He had just a 4th grade education, and could barely write his own name, but he did all that and more. When he married my grandmother (who came from a family of 12 children, as did each of her parents) in 1928, he was a farmer--using mules to work the fields instead of a tractor. I don't think they even had indoor plumbing until I was probably in my teens!! But, what they DID have was 63 years of marriage. When he died in October of 1991, Grandma just gave up on life and she joined him on New Year's Eve. Just as they were together in life, they were buried side by side. They were my heroes, and all I have left now are happy memories and a few pictures.
So, "honest johnny" , if you want to collect a pension, wait till you are 65 and collect your own. Your grandfather worked too hard in life to earn his.
