   Hi folks,
   Haven't posted to the list in a long time, but just wanted to let you
   know
   that my dad passed away March 19th.
   He had surgery on Feb. 14th and my brother, sister & I had been staying
   with him 24hrs a day to provide the care needed after the surgery. It
   was time
   well spent, we had long talks about things from his childhood, how he &
   our mom met, his service in WWII, he served aboard LST 1046 in the
   Pacific.
   One night we just talked about all the families that had lived in our
   neighborhood, he could name almost every family that lived there, from
   the late
   1950's through the 80's, sure wish my memory was that good !
   Up until a couple of months ago, we were still able to go grocery
   shopping
   & out to eat, he loved going to his favorite Mexican restaurant :o)
   Although those shopping trips were really nothing special at the time,
   I'll
   always treasure those times together.
   Our mom passed away from cancer in Aug 2002, and our dad was still
   living
   in the house that he built, and we moved into in 1954, they were
   married
   for almost 62 years when she died.
   I'm guessing that some of you here on the SEL have lost both parents,
   but
   it certainly is a very strange feeling not being able to see or talk
   with
   them anymore.
   I'm adding a link to Dad's obituary, just in case you would like to
   learn a
   bit more about our Dad:

   Take care,
