Title: bad news about dad......
Post by: alantani on November 05, 2021, 03:24:13 AM
mom called an hour ago.  dad passed away in his sleep somewhere between 6 and 6:30.  my nephew is there now, ed will be going there tomorrow, and i will be headed down on saturday.  i got off the boat a couple of days ago and headed straight to the farm with a load of fish.  dad was in good spirits, but he was having more frequent chest pain that was likely due to his worsening kidney function. mom cut up some yellowtail sashimi and i grilled a collar we had a really nice dinner and then i drove home.  when i spoke to mom yesterday, she said that dad was having a really hard time, so we planned on visiting over the weekend. glad i went to see them when  did.

My sincerest sympathies to you, Alan.  I lost my Dad (and Mom) a few years back; when I think about them (every day), it usually leaves me with a good feeling and a blessing that I was so fortunate to have been given them by the Lord.

Ben (Alan's friend) and I went to the memorial service for Yukio Tani.  The only other AT members that I recognized was Bryan Young and his family.  Everyone was masked so there may have been more members there.  The USAF honor guard were there for the folding flag ceremony and taps.  After a video of photographs of his life some family members, including a grandson, Alan and Ed told stories which gave a little insight as to what Alan's dad was like.  It was a fitting tribute to a fine man.  May he rest in peace.  Dominick

thank you very much for all of the kind words and support.  dad had two years after those two heart attacks to prepare, and he did a very thorough job.  he had everything planned out, right down to the shape and color of the urn for his ashes.  the only difference was to change the location to the funeral home rather than the church, because the church was limited to 100 people and the funeral home was not.  he even had long term hospice care insurance which paid for in-home care for 2 and a half years. 

after the funeral, we had a small dinner at a local restaurant, then a bonfire, drinks and a poker game at the farm.  i think dad would have been pleased.
