Yesterday my dad passed away, having lived a wonderful and happy live for almost 96 years. He was such a sweet man and a good and tender father. On Monday Oct. 6 he suffered a massive stroke and went immediately to the hospital, where family gathered and comforted him. Yesterday morning, Oct. 8, he slipped quietly away and just stopped breathing. Those with him said it was a beautiful parting. He had no pain. We will miss him so much--there is no one who can ever replace such a giant.
Today is my 52nd birthday and I am still recouperating from surgery and cannot travel to West Virgnia for the funeral. It is sad but my terrific siblings are including me in as much as possible via cell phone and webcam. I so appreciate their love. Here are some photos I love of my dad.

What a beautiful tribute to a loving father. I know you will miss him terribly. We lost Doug's mother in the Fall and we miss her so much. When special things happen, I want to call her but realize she probably already knows!
