Well the day I dreaded finally has happened my wifes step father has finally sucumbed to all of his aliments. He pased away saturday morning peacefully, his daughter was able to get in late friday to see him before de passed away. I believe he was hanging on untill she showed up, she had scheduled to come in three months ago. So everyone was able to say good bye to him and she went to see the wife he so loved and talked about everytime I saw him. I am honered to have known him and share all of his stories and listen to his wonderful baratone singing voice. He had sung in the new york metropolitian opera when he got out of the service after WWII. I am supporting my wife and taking care of all of the arrangements for his funeral. I also had taken alot of pictures and movies and am going through them to distribute to the family. Enjoy your family and hug them as often as you can because you never know when you might not see them again.
