To all of you who met my father up at our cabin over the last few years
« on: May 09, 2013, 11:30:02 AM »
Yesterday morning, after he'd spent several days in ICU with lots of things going wrong and no signs of improvement, my two brothers and I consented to having our father removed from life support. He passed away shorty thereafter.

Roy was most entertaining when I attended one of the Hungree Dungee crab feeds a couple of years back.

Condolences to the Brothers Duck and related family.

Sorry to hear that Drake, and sorry I never had the opportunity to meet him.

I'm the one my father designated to make the decision in his living will because he knew my mom couldn't.  He's 86 and had 2 heart attacks and now is going to have a new valve installed...

I'd rather not have to make the decision as I'm sure you felt, but better me than my mom, besides, I haven't backed down from a damn thing yet and he knows I can make the hard decision if it comes to that.

I'll toast to you and your father with the better half tonight.  I've helped her through both her parents dying 6 months apart...

Having lost my father two months ago, I can only tell you how sorry I am for your loss.   Isn't it amazing how important they are to us.   You've done a great job with this forum.  Keep up the good work.

Very sorry to read about the passing of your Father, FD. 
He's gotta be quite proud of his 3 boys.
