Dad passes away

[Galaril]

My dad, who was 80 years old passed away late last night at a local hospital. He hadn't been in great health so, this doesn't come as much of a surprise. That being said it is still difficult as many here who have lost a close family membe know. It is interesting to start to look back on my father's life and see his footprint on others. For example, he was a retired WW II navy guy and being former Air Force I have a lot of respect and pride for those type of guys and what that generation accomplished. Anyways, death sucks.

I am sorry Galaril, my father too just passed away last Tuesday, and we burried him yesterday morning. Tough times. My Dad was also in failing health for some time, and I can honestly say it's a blessing. They are both in a better place now. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's the truth.

One thing that is neat is that my Dad passed away on the same day as Red Auberbach. My dad was a huge fan of Red's Celtics teams back in the 50'-60's.
So, I had joked to my brother today to try to cheer the mood some "that my dad was now smoking stogies with Red",it maked us both smile:)

So, I joke that my dad is smoking stogies with Red right now, makes me smile:)

Sorry to hear about your Dad... So do you think that while smoking a couple of the finest cigars they ever sampled one looked at the other and said Isn't that the guy who beat Ali?

Glad to see that he was a man that can bring you joy if only through memories. God Bless...

I know how it feels to lose a parent. 13 years ago for my father on November 11th. 6 years for my mother in February.

You and your family are in my prayers.
