Just a head's up: my father passed away this morning at the age of 74.
He's had multiple myeloma (blood cancer) for 3 years and the past 6 months has
been a real struggle and steady decline (including cardiac arrest in November)
- so it's a relief to the family in many respects, but we will miss him dearly.
He was definitely the patriarc of the family and will leave a unmistakeable
power void.
He didn't want to leave and faught hard to the end through undescribable
suffering. He's leaves a legacy of his wife of 30 years, my brother and I, our
wives and my 3 daughters - his children.
My dad bought my brother and I our first computer (a Commodore VIC-20) and
supported our hobbies and interests with enthusiasm our entire lives.
He was a successful real estate developer, investor, and financier. He had no
interest in retirement and worked to the end. He loves to shopping for fishing
boats and real estate and buying and selling the same, but mostly... boats.
Lots of boats. Anyone in the market for a 33 or 36' Wellcraft? :-)
Sincerely,
-Rob
