Gone Daddy, Gone

Dad just passed away 15 minutes ago. I'm relieved that he's no longer in pain.

I'm here in NJ, at work. We're celebrating the end of the week and some other happy corporate events, and I'm a bit drunk (one beer).

I'm going back to the party for a bit, then I'm going home.

I'll be in Connecticut Saturday until the funeral.

Big hugs, Tom. I know that you made your Dad very, very proud - both in your accomplishments and in your love for him. If you feel up to it at any point, I'd love to hear some of the things about him that you cherished most.

And if you want to talk, call me anytime.
