My father passed away yesterday.

He'd been very ill over the last few months, and for the last week been in at-home hospice. I received news that he was sinking fast, and Dad passed away while I was enroute from the city. Some of the family were there at the time, and the rest of us were able to make it in time to have a brief gathering with the pastor of our hometown church. I'll be heading back on the weekend to help Mom out as best I can.

Dad was a Korean war veteran, goat farmer, sign painter, woodcarver, corrections officer, avid gardener, a good father and grandfather, and will be sorely missed in his community.
