Thanks all, Karmen, Jon.
Yes dad left me around a year and a half ago, in August.
It is ironic how John was there for me, almost like a second father.
He was encouraging and a real inspiration.
Seeing him go down hill so fast certainly was / is difficult considering the fact that both passings were quite close, as were both men to me.
Karmen, sorry I meant to pass along condolences sooner on your sisters behalf.
