Hello Everyone,Yesterday my father passed away with at 4pm, 15 months later after a long battle with a brain tumor, if not longer. He told me he is ok, and took his last three breaths and released ; he fought a good fight and lived a great life. After weeks at the VA Hospital, he was transferred to another facility as one last wheedle attempt to buy him more time and possible give him a few more month's of peace; but we knew it was a long shot at best, as he had begun transitioning late Wednesday night. Labor Day was the last day we had fluid conversations...and it became apparent what was happening.The last two weeks he started losing alot of weight and my last four visits we said our goodbye's. It was the hardest thing to see a man with great health, wisdom, wit and zest to shrink away so quickly. He was brought back to the area so family good be there and he wouldn't pass without us at the V.A. My father was/is the behind the scenes hero in my life; a great motivator, caring man and the best friend anyone could ever imagine. I was lucky to have him for the first half of my life so far and will have his energy and spirit to forge forward in coming years. He loved everyone I knew and was interested in everyone as well. He came from an era when people where just good quality people you could always count on.I am very proud that we were able to spend the last 18 years together day in - day out; he had a great retirement. I am also very proud that I was able to take care of him to the very end and he knew he could count on me matter what. I never let him down on any aspect, with that he had a easy time with it all. He fought a good fight and went out on his terms.I appreciate you all. Funeral services will be at Mount Holly Military Cemetery sometime in the next few days.
