Well then he was quite the popular one when he was alive

Don't worry too much about it, OP, it gets far, far, less exciting when it's bills.

This happens to me from time to time. My grandpa had been dead since 1990, and every now and then we'll get a solicitation addressed to him. They must think he's still alive at what now would be 101.

If you put RTS Deceased on the mail and stick it back in the box it will stop

Yeah, I kept getting mail for my ex husband for months after he moved out. I wrote on the mail, "No longer at this address. Return to sender" and dropped it back in the mailbox. I stopped getting his mail after just a few weeks.

Well that's because you email and text.

Don't hate the player, hate the game

Let them know he's not around anymore but I'm sorry about your grandpa, I just lost my grandma a few days ago

Go online and find a snail mail penpal.

Unless it's letters or postcards, I'd hate to be popular via mail. That's just a lot of bills and bullshit to take care of.

My parents still occasionally get mail for the previous owner of their house, which they've lived in since 1991. That's right, the previous owner moved out 24 years ago and they still occasionally get junk mail addressed to them.

That's funny. My parents have been getting mail for a girl (who has never lived in our house) for more than ten years. We've lived there for 21 years and a family member lived there before that. The struggle is real.

You know depending on what kind of mail he's getting, if you send it back with the word deceased on the font of the envelope they should stop sending mail to him.
