Earlier this year my dad was diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Yesterday afternoon his suffering ended.

He would have been 82 on July 11.

He was a good man, and I miss him.

He was diagnosed about the same time that my wife was starting chemo, so I'm glad I got a chance to visit him a couple times before it was too late.

"He was a good man". Don't we all hope that will be said about us.

He will always be with you in some form Ray.

Bless you and yours,

Ray,I am sorry to read this news of your father Ray seniors passing.
My father has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma as well.
That's a lovely photo of your dad standing in front of the In-Ko-Pah RR.
