I posted this on Facebook earlier, but figured I'd share it with my friends here...
I could fill pages describing my dad and the richness of his life, but suffice to say he was highly respected and admired by his peers and all who learned from him. He had no enemies. He left the lives of those he touched richer for having known him. One of his biggest fears was that he's spend months or years dying in a nursing home. All of us, including him, were glad to see those fears were not realized. My sister and I were both able to be with him, holding his hands, when he passed. His final decline was pretty rapid, and he left this life comfortable in his faith in what was next.
At 12:12 this morning, the world lost a great man. He left an impressive mark on the world and leaves behind a remarkable legacy. He died peacefully of natural causes, surrounded by love. We mourn his passing but rejoice that he did it on his own terms. Be at peace now, Dad.
