3 Weeks from Sunday, my Dad went into the hospital and was found to have lung cancer and it had spread to his hip, shoulder, and brain. Well, Sunday night, the family was sitting around him watching TV and talking when his breathing changed. My wife took the kids home and before they had left the driveway, he took his last breath. He was in better health than most 75 year old men as he stayed active around the house, hunted, and was a member of the local vol firefighters. He had come home from the hospital Friday and we knew his time was short. At least now he is in a better place with no pain and doing all that he wants to do. He had taught me so much about hunting, fishing and the outdoors along with being a wonderful husband to Mom. He had inspired me to join the Navy years ago but I couldn't match his 36 years of active and reserves (he retired years ago as a Capt). He will be greatly miss by all his friends and family. I'm just so glad that he didn't have to suffer with painful cancer longer than he did.
