Dear Friends.....
I am so sad to report this to you.
My beloved father passed away today at 1:00 PM PST, in his home in California. He had been fighting massive cancer in his lungs, bones, liver, and lymph glands. This was only discovered when he developed a rapidly growing tumor upon his neck about 3 months ago. The doctors pronounced his condition terminal one week ago this day.
We were with him constantly, caring for him right until the end. I held him and talked to him all through last night, as we fed him oxygen and he struggled to breathe. He went through a lot of pain, but mercifully, was peaceful at the very end.
He died in my arms.
(Here is part of the obituary I have just written for him: )
