On Friday, July 15, 2022 our Dad passed away from the incurable disease of pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed in July of 2020 and was a WARRIOR for the past two years against this beast. He always looked so good even when he was on chemotherapy that you would not even know that he was fighting this disease. He would go to work everyday to provide us with a wonderful home life. He continued to push my brother and I to graduate from college and high school and taught us that we can do anything that we put our minds to. We did not realize how quickly this disease would progress. We were able to be at home with him and take care of him every step of the way. Our Dad donated his tumor specimen to Dana Farber Cancer Institute in hopes of one day being able to detect this awful disease earlier. Our Dad had believed in the humane treatment of all animals and in finding a cure for pancreatic cancer. My brother and I will be donating all of these funds to the following charities: PanCAN Purple Stride (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, Cranston Animal Shelter and other charities of our choice.
