>After returning from America, Erwin Kreuz continued to live his bachelor life in Adelsried and never married. During his last days, he stayed at a nursing home in Peiting, Bavaria. His nurse mentioned that he regularly viewed a photo album from his time in Bangor, which kept him awake and joyful despite his dementia, which resulted from his excessive alcohol consumption. He died in 2010 at the age of 83.

he was born in the 20s which is pre-WW2 so definately not a boomer. Most boomers were teens to 20s in the 1970s
>t. has a boomer mom who was in high school in 1976

Nobody cares what real boomers are it's just a way for young idiots to complain about old people as they always do. Most "le evil boomers" are actually gen x

Your grandpa also did manual labor, possibly fought in a war and didn't spend hours per day sitting on a cantonese cat breeding forum. You'll die 25 years before he did, sorry anon.
