Thankfully, your father has no more pain and infirmity... only the glorius company of the Lord. His grace and peace to you and the family in his absence. You will see him again. 1 Thes. 4:13-18.

After a lifetime of devotion to his flock, it's your father's turn to be tended to in Paradise.
The happiest lives make the saddest good-byes. How fortunate you are.

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. We are praying with, and rejoicing with, you during this time.

My condolences, sola.
May your sorrow be eased with the understanding that our Lord and Savior is all sovereign and knows best when to take his sheep home.
May you be comforted by knowning that the one wish your father shared with those Greeks who came to see Jesus has come true:
"The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus." -John 12:21
When peace like a river, attendeth my way;
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
He lives--oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Oh my soul.
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
And, Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend;
Even so, it is well with my soul...
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
Horatio Gates Spafford [1873]

As one who has lost not one, but TWO beloved parents, the state of whose souls is hopeful but not certain, I say to you:
It's perfectly Christian for you to mourn and miss your godly father/grandfather, and you just go ahead and mourn him all you need; and
Never underestimate what a wonderful balm it is to your soul that you know that your loved one's Redeemer lives, that He has conquered sin and death, and that your father/grandfather wouldn't leave His presence now for all the riches in the universe.

I had no idea your father was L.R.Shelton, Jr. He was one of the finest preachers of the Twentieth Century, in my opinion.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."

Greatful to L.R.Shelton as one of those God used to get my thinking straight. He will be missed.
