This shed tears to my eyes, his granddaughter and family asked the university to grant her grandpa a degree of recognition before he passes.  Very touching, he put effort into his studies even though he has health issues... technically, he doesn't have enough credits, and this is not a "true" degree, but it doesn't really matter, he gets to "graduate" along with the granddaughter!
