Some of you guys knew that my Pop has been battling cancer for almost 8 years. Yesterday at 4:52 he went to claim his victory prize. I must say he was the sweetest, most humble, kind, loving, helpful and generous person I have even known, that coming from me his son doesnt carry a lot of weight but everybody that knew him says the same thing. He was the best Dad a guy could ever have and always made it known to everybody that he loved them. We were very close, I talked to him on the phone almost everyday and was honored to be his caregiver the last month of his life. I made sure he never seen the inside of a nursing home, something he said would eventually have to happen but I wasn't having it. I miss him terribly already but was blessed to have him as a Dad a mentor and a best friend for 45 years. I'm beyond blessed to have had him so close for so long. Thank you to those of you who have prayed for him over the years. I know it is part of what extended His time that the doctors where saying he didn't have. I appreciate those prayers, check ups and the friendships you extended to me while I struggled over his sickness. Thank you from the deepest parts of my heart.

Very sorry for your loss, sounds like you will take after him. I lost my dad in 1977 from a long battle with cancer. I still miss him, but have great memories that still bring a smile to my face. You will never forget the good memories.

Seal Billy,
Sorry for your loss and I feel your pain. My Dad died 12 days ago. I was blessed to have him as a best friend and mentor for 45 years, and I did what it took to keep him at home too. You should be proud that you were able to be his caregiver when he needed you. May God bless you and your family in your time of need.
Rick
