4 March, 2017 (Linda) Hello all. I don't know of any other way to tell you altogether of our sad news . Our dad passed yesterday at 6:20 pm peacefully with Jeff and I at his bedside. Randy and Greg were on their way to be here. They both had some precious moments with him last week and are doing okay. We will all be together today. I will let everyone know if there will be a memorial service . We are not sure yet. Dad was a very solitary person after our mother died and we are going to discuss what he would want. Just know that I always showed him your comments on Facebook and he loved them! And I always passed on to him your well wishes. Keith ,of course,spoke to dad last week and they laughed and laughed together and dad just was so happy to talk to him. I would ask of you to please pass this news on to the rest of the family. Dad struggled these past few weeks but there were very special moments of lucidity and that's what we will keep in our hearts. I love you all and so did dad. He's resting now..
