Sorry man.
I wish I could of met my Great Grandpa on my Mom's side. My G-Grandma is still alive at 99 year young. My G-Grandpa died when my mom was in 3rd grade and she's 46 now. Wish I would of met him, I've heard nothing but good things.

Wow. Pretty deep question here.
I will start with my dads parents (so my grandparents.). I have never met them. They are both deceased. I just want to meet them, and let them know how my father turned out, and that they did a good job. I have a million questions that I will wait my whole life to ask them.
As for my grandpa on my moms side....I really wish I would have been more outdoorsy like I am now. When he was alive, I wasnt into fishing much, and had no interest in hunting. Now I want to start hunting, and I would love someone that I look up to, to get me into it. I never asked him to take me fishing or hunting, and I regret it. There are also a couple of things I wish I would have said to him, but it's best not to say here. When I meet him again, they will be the first things I say.

Interesting post. I'd rather not ask them anything I'd like them to be here still.
My uncle: so my cousins wouldn't be assholes to me and I could help him out with his business.
My sister: So I could see her grown up and all that good stuff/spend time with her.

Sometimes you loose people unexpectedly and ya never get to tell them what they mean too you,
Having lost my dad I was lucky in the sence that we knew he was dieing so I got to tell him all the things I needed too. But I guess you can never say everything that should be said, just the things of the moment come out.

I wish I could have met with my dads dad, never met him. He did lots of crazy shit, not the nicest of things but was a Liquor runner accross the river from canada, owned a bar during prohibition (back room stuff with gambling, paying of local police, etc...). My Moms grandpa was right from Italy and was secretly in the Italian Michigan Mafia threw out his years. My great grandma knew, but the family really did not know until after he, then my Great Grandma passed when going threw the Will, house, and all other stuff! Ahhh the crazy old days!!!

I would have liked to know more about my Grandpa (mom's side) when he was in the war. He never really talked about it but had all the Tattoos. At his funeral I learned more from the guys he served with than he ever said. I guess he was modest and didn't like talking about it. But it was a real eye opener hearing the stories. Gave me a new perspective to look at him. I just wish I had that perspective when he was alive.
I always looked up to him and respected him as a kid. He was a great grandfather. But now that I am older, I have a deeper respect for what the soldiers went through. I appreciate things like that more now than I did as a kid.
