It is with great sadness that i say we lost our dad yesterday. He had been in [View all]

a nursing home for 7 years and it was harder and harder for him to enjoy life despite the excellent care. Then a pnumomnia came along. He went pretty quick but not before we got to each spend some time with him, alone and together. A part of me wishes he had been more conscious, but that is just me being selfish. He was a gentle bear of a man, at home building rock gardens without any cement that have lasted 50 years or at cocktail parties in a politiical neighborhood. He was a wonderful father. He was so much fun. His greatest outside interest was liberal politics and we all inherited that from him. I will miss him but he is with mom again, the ancestors and many of his great friends. My heart is broken tonight but I know his memory will always be a blessing.
