The 84 year old grandfather of Jim Daniels died at "Just the right time," according to Daniels.
"His death couldn't have come at a better time," said Daniels as he relaxed at the memorial service of his grandfather John Daniels who was a sportscaster and local personality in the small town of Poplar Bluff, Missouri. "I live in Seattle and don't come to the Midwest but once or twice a year. So when I happened to be visiting with my father and learned that [grandpa] had had a stroke or something then I was initially thinking, 'Great, looks like I'll have to extend my vacation and have to work twice as hard when I return." Jim popped a cheese ball into his mouth and smiled. "But no! I didn't have to cancel a thing because he up and died quick and as soon as this [the memorial service] is over I get on the first flight back to Seattle. It's perfect!"
