My grandpa was very similar to your stepdad. Came around later in my Aunt's and Uncle's life, so wasn't really a father figure to them. But he was a great dad to my mother, and he was my best friend until he passed away when I was 18. I miss him greatly every day. My dad passed away while my mom was pregnant, so I never knew my dad, and my grandpa was the only father I ever knew
Men like that are hard to come by these days. I'm happy that your stepfather was able to be a role model to your son. I'm sorry it got cut short. But take it from me, your son will always have those memories of his grandfather, and they'll mean the world to him.
That's terrible. I'm sorry for your loss
