Sorry to burst anyone's age-bubble, on the subject "grandfather's "  
minimum age, but,
Philo Farnsworth gets credit  for filing a patent on television, in 
1927, and I think that the
earliest TV broadcast occurred in 1939, so our mythological grandfather, 
if he was born
"before television"  would be at least 69 years old (from 1939) and 
could be well over 81 years
(depending upon disputes as to whom actually gets credit for inventing 
television, and when),
not "59", as the internet-posting indicates.

Unless TV happened to arrive at his home town in  1949.
