I used to have a 'extra set of grandparents' when I was younger. An elderly couple that lived downstairs who often babysat me and spoiled me like I was their own grandchild.

I knew their phone number by heart, this was pre smart phone(now I think of it, I can't recall it anymore,a shame).

They passed during my teenage years. When I went to university I had a job working call centre for a telecom discounter.

During a slow day I looked up their number, and they apparently had been clients. So I respectfully removed them from the database.
