I am his Brother Donald's daughter. I am sorry to see him go so soon. I last went to see him 1½ weeks prior to his death, when I learned that he had been put on hospice. He was able to talk and understand most everything around him. The best memory of that day was when he told his wife that she was helping him too much, he wanted to do things on his own as he always did. He will be missed, and loved.
