This whole illness has been tragic. I'm glad that his struggle is over, and he's at peace. Love and hugs to Mary and all the kids and thanks, Lizzie, for writing.

Lizzy, thank you for posting this devastating news.
The past year of Dad's life had been incredibly painful, and I think we all share in the relief that he is no longer in pain and was able to pass comfortably.
No matter how much we prepare ourselves , losing such a wonderful man like our Dad is going to be tough to recover from.
He was very loved and personally my rock. Anyone who met him immediately fell in love with his charismatic personality.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

My deepest sympathies. He has already been missed over the last year or so , knowing it is final is very sad. Thanks for reminding us of the great parties and the dancing! That how I will remember him.
