I am a native speaker and in my family we use "Дідо", "Дідусь" & "Дідуньо" for "Grandfather".
We always said: "Дідо Є там." ("Grandfather IS there." The verb 'is/є' was always included - never omitted.)
(We never used "дід", as it refered to 'an old man' which could be construed as derogatory. We like to show respect to/for our elders. )
