My Father (Tim Van Vleet) is dying from Stage 4 Colon Cancer. He has only been given a few weeks left to live and his health is declining rapidly. Tim is 60 years old from Santa Clara. He loves his friends and his city.

My wife and I have taken on the challenge of caring for my father. I have taken time off from work to spend his last days with him. This is the most time I have ever spent with my dad and I am grateful for every minute. He has lived a lifestyle that has kept us apart. I had always hoped that things would change for him and we could have a Father Son relationship that I had always wanted, but unfortunately it took his diagnosis to bring us together.

The reason I'm starting this page is I would like to get my Father cremated and placed in the ground with his Family. I'm am the only relative that is caring for him in any capacity, so all the finacial responsibilities is falling on me.   My Father dosent have any money and has lived most of his life on the streets.  My wife and I live paycheck to paycheck like most people in this area and need a little help.

To everyone thats been apart of my Father's journey in life and has helped him along the way...THANK YOU!!! Tim knew just about everone in Santa Clara and was very lucky  to have the friends that he did. You were his Family.
