My last blog entry was January 19^th which is the day my Dad passed away. He developed ischemic colitis and was hospitalized on Christmas day. After about 2 weeks of hospitalization he had to have major surgery. This surgery would have been tough on the healthiest of people, but my Dad had been battling renal cancer since August. In the end the surgery proved too much. He was 65.

The best thing about my Dad was that he was always genuinely interested in and derived real pleasure from hearing everything that was going on in your life. He was unconditionally supportive and loving. I will miss him a great deal.
