    It’s supposed to convey that he had more significance than someone who wasn’t a grandfather (and hence meant less to less people). It’s a manipulative technique used by journalists and politicians (they talk about such and such who is a mum or a dad). I hate this kind of crap though, because it suggests that someone is less worthy of attention if they don’t have a family.
