Yes, my fathers eyes are pale blue. My mom's eyes are dark brown. My eyes are light brown.
My husbands parents both had dark brown eyes. His eyes are dark brown.
Our daughter has dark blue eyes.

Yes, because everyone has two genes for eye color, one from Mom and one from Dad. Your great grandfather definitely passed down a blue eyed gene to his child. That person had a 50/50 chance of passing on the blue-eyed gene to your Mom or Dad, who could then pass it on to you. Recessive genes can stay in a family forever and show up generations down the line.

one could carry a resessive gene in case you have hazel or brown eyes. you have got it. It truly relies upon on in case your mom or dad carried that recessive gene. it may proceed even by using your little ones!

Yes, it is still possible. Recessive genes can go on and on and on and not show up for a while.
