He sounds like he was an amazing guy, and I can't imagine how much you're missing him. Believe it or not, I'm a hugger, so big hugs to you. I'm glad you shared the article.

Thanks 05heel. I am a hugger too. I will take all the hugs.
((((hugs)))) Oh my gosh. Your dad was a remarkable and brave man. How wonderful that he had the support of a whole community.
My dad had an online community too; it started with playing card games online and branched out into a message board and friendships. My mom and brother were so freaked out the first time my dad wanted to meet one of his online friends for lunch. Fortunately, I was already on TN by then and was able to talk them down, and he went to the lunch, and it went just fine. When he died somewhat suddenly, my brother and I went on to let them know. It was so hard to do. They were shocked and sad, and we got so many supportive messages from so many people. It was terribly sad, but also uplifting.

I am sorry for your loss. Hugs
It is a certain kind of wonderful though when there are so many others that knew and loved him too. I still lurk on my dads old message boards just to catch up with people that meant so much to him.
