My Dad passed a few hours ago. They gave him three months after diagnosis. He made it 14 months. They said that he'd live a day or two after discharge. He made it a week.

That was, is and always will be, my father. He always demanded that expectations not only be met, but exceeded, and he always led by example. Even at the end.

He passed with my mother embracing him, which is what he wanted. They are so close. Thankfully, all my brothers and I are only a 30 minutes away, so we all got there at exactly the same time to support my mother.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. It has brought me a lot of comfort since this began and now that it has ended.

Thank you,

Donger
