Heading back with my family to California soon. My old man passed away this morning, and neither I, nor the paramedics were able to resuscitate him. Funeral home just picked him up a short while ago where he'll be prepared to be shipped back to San Francisco for the funeral.

I don't see me being online much until at least Wednesday.

Guess I'm having Thanksgiving Dinner PST.

See you folks soon.

Unhappy

I am so sorry that your father passed away my friend.

I can imagine it must be hard for you. Even though you haven't seen your father much in the last few years. (As you said earlier.)

Your family needs you right now, and you need your family.

We are also always here for you.

Best wishes in dealing with the grief you have now.

And my respects and best wishes to you and your family in this situation.

Oh, man. I'm very sorry to hear about your father. I recall you saying it was expected, but this is the kind of thing that is never easy to deal with no matter how prepared you think you are. I wish you and your family the best during this time.

Peace and Godspeed to Papa GE.
