TypicalFish 0 #1 July 6, 2005 Those of you who know me, are aware that my father has been battling cancer for the last three plus years... Last Thursday, he passed away peacefully at 9:10 AM surrounded by friends and family... He will be sorely missed by anyone who knew him, as someone who genuinely spread good cheer, camraderie, and humor to anyone who came in to contact with him... I should be so lucky as to have people care about and miss me the way they will miss him... Take a moment today and be thankful for the people in your life whose biggest aspiration is to make the world (and people) around them a little bit happier and more humorous."I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpchikk 0 #4 July 6, 2005 I am so sorry to hear this. My dad is now at the beginning stages of battling cancer himself. I have to admit that it scares the hell out of me and right now as I am typing this, tears are streaming down my face. You are in my thoughts and prayers and again my sincere condolences to you and your family. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
