Hi guys,
I just spent two wonderful weeks in the hospital learnig that i have a fast growing cancer which is eating at my ribs, spine, etc, at a super high rate of speed so, to make a long story kindasorta short, this will be my last post here, or anyplace else, forever. I have had a ball here, and an gonna miss you all, a lot. Have a great life!
I haven't visited this site often and noticed this thread this morning. If this has been posted elsewhere, I apologize.
Don passed away Thursday night, March 5, 2009.
It looks like he was very active here, and from the threads here, it looks like many knew him and regarded him as a friend.
He had an active life which he enjoyed, mostly with the company of friends and loved ones. When he found it was bone cancer causing the pain and not an old injury acting up, it was quite a shock. He decided to stay out of the hospital and with his wife, with the assistance of hospice nursing. He had been visited by friends and surrounded by family in the weeks and days preceeding his death. It was terribly painful and mercifully swift.
He will be missed by those who knew him.
Two years gone.
While the feelings of loss ebb like the tide, occasions do occur to remind, and the memories remain to flow forth with a gentle smile.
To be understood only by those who know.
The players may be different, but the song remains the same. . . . .
