I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, JOEJOEJOE. My thoughts are with you and your family. It seemed his loving spirit helped you write the message.

Joe, while I'm so sorry to hear the news, I'm happy that you and your family were able to share those last few hours together in peace and you all were able to comfort eachother and even share a few laughs while celebrating your father's life. My father's passing was by far the toughest thing I've ever had to endure and I miss him dearly every single day that goes by. May love & peace be with you and your family.
My condolences Joe.
Sounds as if you were as prepared as one can be, I had a similar scenario with my Dad, but of course its still tough. Best to your family.
My loving father died very peacefully at 12:55am on Friday morning.
My entire immediate family was at his bedside in his final hours of life. My sister flew in from NYC immediately after the nurse told us that the end was near, so luckily, she was able to spend the last few hours with my dad.
The scene was very peaceful, and even after he passed away, there was still calm in the room. Sitting in my parent's living room at 2am waiting for the mortuary to come pick him up was very trippy, but we were able to share some humor.
Today was his funeral, and it was a beautiful event. Seeing so many friends and family members really brought comfort to my family and I. My sister, brother and I each spoke about my dad, and it was great to share some anticdotes with everyone in attendance.
At the graveside service, my mom, wife, sister and I spent time together at his coffin.....it ended with some
chuckles. Once he was lowered into the ground, everyone had the chance to shovel dirt over the coffin (Jewish custom), and this created a nice vibe of togetherness. My mom thanked me for being her son......the most powerful moment of my life.
Thanks for the kind words. it was a joyous event, but I do realize that mournful times are sure to follow.
In a weird way, i believe that PJ20 last weekend was a gift from my dad. He lived long enough so that we could attend the show before he left us soon after. We were lucky enough to hit the front row lottery, and the wife and I were fortunate to meet Ed backstage on Sunday. Thanks, dad!
Your thoughts and views on your father's passing are amazing--a true tribute to the celebration of his life and spirit, while being able to overcome your own personal loss. This is something rarely seen.
Thank you for sharing your insight, and allowing others to offer our thoughts & prayers also.
I'm so sorry for your loss Joe. How beautiful and peaceful his passing was, and awesome you were all there with him, its what we all hope for when our time is here. Thank you for sharing that with us. I wish for you strength and peace of heart as you walk forward with you dad no longer at your side. Much love.
~*LIVE~LOVE~LAUGH*~
*May the Peace of the Wilderness be with YOU*
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Joe I'm so sorry for your loss. From what you have shared on the board this year has been hard for you and your family. I hope that you all feel the peace and love we all send to you. Your dad would be so proud of how strong you have been.
I'm really very sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Death is such an abstract event that defies any logic.
My dad passed away 19 years ago. It seems like yesterday he was here, but also seems like forever since I've seen him.
You'll heal in time.
Again, I'm so sorry.
