Today I post a reprise of a post first published seven years ago today in honor and memory of my paternal grandfather.
"Immortality Lies in Being Remembered by Family and Friends."

| Arnold George Tew (1896 - 1958) |
My paternal grandfather was born on October 15, 1896 in Central Falls, Rhode Island. He died suddenly and unexpectedly on this day 55 years ago in Berlin, Connecticut while on a business trip. He was the only one of the four sons of John Andrew Tew and Margaret "Maggie" (Conner) Tew to survive beyond age two. Arnold was married to Huldah A. Hasselbaum of Providence, Rhode Island and together they had three children. Arnold is the grandfather of ten grandchildren, the great grandfather of sixteen great grandchildren and the great great grandfather of at least seven great great grandchildren with more surely to come.
He has been gone from us for sixty-two years now, but he is not forgotten!
