I say Condolences to his Family & Friends also and RIP.
I was most of the way there once it is far better place to be than anyone can imagine!!. It was hard to come back but I was a single Dad with two young daughters with no one sane to raise them. So, when he gave me the chance to return I took it. Got to keep my memory of my short time away too. So, I raised my daughters, they both have families of their own now, why I am still here 25 years later I have no idea. But he has had to do his part to keep me here once again since then also so, I must still have something to do in this place.
