+ 3 - 2 | § ¶In Loving Memory...

What can a son say? After a long bout fighting cancer, my father ran out of energy and passed away Tuesday. It was not totally unexpected, but sooner than I thought it would be. I happend to be in a cab heading for LAX to fly up to Seattle to be with my daughters during the impending crisis when my brother called to let me know that he passed away.

Mom had just had him moved back home where he could be with family, and shortly after they settled him into bed he just kind of left. Mom said when she went in to check on him, he had a smile on his face. Kind of like he was glad to be home and decided it was time to go.

I will miss him a lot.

Jen, Laura, Ryan and I will fly to Colorado next week for the memorial service, and to be with family. My only regret is that I came really close to being able to be there that afternoon. Maybe I should have gone ahead and flown to Denver. Instead, I chose to head up to Seattle to be with my daughters while all this was happening, because we needed each other.

Dad... We will all miss you.
