For those expressing condolences about Dad, his name was John and he was 89.
He was in hospice care for about 3 weeks and died last Saturday morning.
He'd had heart problems for a number of years, started with a heart attack and a triple bypass around age 63, along with a couple more heart attacks through the years and another bypass/stinting.
Last October he went in with another attack and basically refused any major surgery to clear it up, he was tired of the ordeal.
He was in a short term care facility (home) until 3 weeks ago when they moved him to the hospice ward of a major local hospital.
He was always an upbeat and positive person, we did many things together, hunted, fished, trapped, even rolled a couple of vehicles together. :hehe:
As with many dads, he was great, he was horrible, he was friend, he was foe, he was dark, he was light, but more importantly, no matter the situation, he was DAD and I will, I already DO, miss him so, so very much.
Mark.
