off topic, the passing of my father

[gjohnson]

@6balls & @Razorskier1 sorry to hear the news of your fathers passing. Tonight, I'll have a beer in the honor of honorary baller Bud Ross.

Thinking of you guys daily. Hang in there boys.

It's good to be together, the family as always has circled the wagons and are taking care of my Mom. Jim was the rock-star of support through all of this as Bud declined staying at the house the entire time. He basically carried my Dad to his final mass, carried him upstairs to bed the final time, and then carried him out when it was over. Bud's greatness wore off on a great son.

Very moving. Blessings and peace to your family in your time of grief.

Rest in Peace Bud! Thoughts and prayers to the Ross family Heaven will never be the same!

Jim, Dave and the Ross family - heartfelt condolences and my thoughts are with you. Need to go see my mom and dad.

My parents are getting to the age where I run a thousand things through my mind when the phone rings late at night. I too was tossed into the water as a guppie strapped to a pair of skis by my dad.

 

I feel your pain as I am dreading the day.

 

My heartfelt sympathies on your loss and my wishes for you to forever cherish and remember the days you had together. (Wiping eyes now).

Thoughts and prayers with your entire family. It's never easy no matter how the end comes, but each day does get a little bit better over time.

I lost my Dad several years ago. He had a prolonged 5 year battle with strokes that progressed to the point his death was a blessing. It is really hard thinking about going on in life without your Dad! Time is a healer and now years later the great thing is that when I reflect upon him all I remember are the great times and how lucky I was to have him. My sympathies for your loss and all of you that still have your dad give him a big ol' hug! (Seriously wiping eyes!)
