Thanks guys. In some ways, I'm not overly shocked by this because our dad was always the stubbornly independent sort, as in he was going to do what he did despite warnings and concerns about his health by those closest to him.

The hard part was just a bit ago as I was telling my two oldest children (10 year-old Joseph and 8 year-old Kyle). That's where the tears shed a bit for me because-well- that was thier grandpa- their buddy that would bike ride with them, canoe down the river (practically in the backyard), and so on. He never was that close with his own children, but perhaps age & wisdom finally did have some effect on him once the grandkids started showing up on the scene.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family!  With him being a geologist, it sounds like he went doing what he loved to do.  May you and your family have peace in this trying time.

All my Best...

Thunder and Flayed,

I am sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with your families.


God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
as we saw you pass away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.
Your Golden Heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
