I have vivid memories of both my grandmothers because both were self-centered tyrants and even their children didn't have much good to say about them. I barely knew my maternal grandfather; only vague memories of the couple of times I actual met him. But he was much beloved by his children and the grandchildren who did have frequent interaction with them, and I would guess he had nearly a dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren named after him. He was an immigrant who stowed away on a sailing vessel at age 16 to come here, never completed schooling, but was considered very wise and many of his sayings have lived on for generations in the family. My paternal grandfather left the family when my father, the eldest of his three children, was about 6. Never knew him.
