What do you call your grandparents?

[AreaCode707]

Mom's side: Grandmother (now mostly shortened to Gram) and Granddad
Dad's side: Mimi and... well, he died before I was born so nothing really fits. Dad refers to him as "Pa" when talking to us but I generally call him Merv, his first name, when talking about him.

What do you call your parents' folks?
