Though we are all sad at your passing, we take comfort in remembering great times we had with you. Finally you can be at peace with no more surgeries or doctor visits and you lucked out and skipped the wheelchair, which I know you wanted no part of. Will pop in from time to time to say hello, Dad. Love you, mug.

Devastation is the word of my choosing. I’m pleased he didn’t suffer, but so ever sad for the loss. Truly one of my dearest friends and my memories will last forever. From going to the YMCA daily together, to having a cold one at the heritage center along with the family functions. I love you all and you have my sincerest sympathies. He loved you all so very much.
