I am writing to inform everyone that my father passed away at 2:00 am. on Friday the eighteenth of June. He had just turned 89 on June 2. We were all shocked by his rapid decline and will miss him very much. I travelled to see him at least twice a month in his later years and shared many great times together. I will especially miss our old breakfast haunt and our regular stroll through Walmart. He was a good and gentle man. I have included a few pictures of my father in this posting.
