Bob,
I don't really know you at all, but I am very sad for you. I am very close to my dad, and I hate to think about losing him one day. What a tremendous gift a good dad is!
Life is bitter and sweet. Sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both at the same time.
May God help you through this difficult time.
Sincerely, --William

Posted by Bob Rochon (Member # 30) on :
Thank you all,
It was a bit overwhelming to see this post, nevermind the resonses.
Yes yesterday Morning @ 10:17 my hero past on from our sight. His work here was done and it wasis turn to travel to a wold of eternal peace.
In his last days and moments he was surrounded by his family & friends.
He was at home, the same home he built himself back in the early 60's. He didn't suffer long, I thank God for that, I also thank god for all the added days that followed after the first hospitalization. When he first got sick and was diagnosed with cancer, I prayed for one more day. We were not only blessed with 3 more months but we shared one more thanksgiving and one more christmas as a family and at the old homestead. I always dreaded this day, for I adored my parents, and realized how precious they really are. we all had plenty of times to say what we needed to say, and I for one never said goodbye!
I always told him I'd see him soon, for I know I will see him again when my work here is done.
now I can say my dad is truly home!

A sad and happy day combined. You certainly seemed to have lost a great guy, but what a beautiful way of seeing him at peace. My prayers go with you.
Isn't it a great comfort to know that we were not designed for this world?

Bob, I am very sorry to hear about your Dad.
I had just talked to you, for he first time, only the day before. I wish I had known what was going on in your life at the time. You helped me through a minor dilemma; hopefully, knowing that our thoughts are with you, will help you through these troubled times.

That was touching Bob. If you'll excuse the irony you sound pretty dang lucky to have had such a closeness with your dad. That will be eternal.

I'm one of only a few here who knew Bob's dad, having met him several times when Bob had his shop in the basement of his parent's home. He was a great guy.
Bob and I talked many times about his father's illness, and about how glad Bob was that he had time to spend with him and say goodbye. It's good to know that he passed at home, surrounded by the people who loved him.
