    Hi - I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not. One of this community's members, CACMANJR, had his father pass away yesterday, 10/31. He went in peace, after some health struggles, but Carl could use some good wishes and prayers.

    I know you all will chime in and make him feel cared for.

    Thanks,

    A Dads love will never die . The memory's will go on !

    On your father's move to a better place.

    Hi Carl, just a quick note. Remember the good times, never the bad, remember the great looks and not the frowns. My Dad is 87, deep in the throws of altzhimers. Sadly, and it's somewhat hard to say, better to have your loved one's go to a better place quickly then to struggle mightly and daily to remember virtually anything. I'm not religious, but your "Pops" is good, trust me.

    Respectively

    Thanks

    Thanks to all of you for your condolences and good wishes. It sure makes it easier knowing others are thinking about you. Dad was a good man that often went racing with me and my wife. He lived 83 good years, the last two of which with us. We had time to really get to know each other as adults and he made me aware of what he wanted if he was unable to make decisions for himself. He had his fifth heart attack in July of this year. That caused a lot of brain damage and he lived in another world. We cared for him here at home until he was very weak. In the hospital, 18 hours before his death, he said "I don't want to live this way any more". Then he said "We got a lot of sh*t to do." He died peacefully the next day.

    We will bury the carrier of his spirit on Thursday but he lives forever in our hearts. Thank you all for your friendship and support during these most difficult times.

    Sincerly,

    The Extended Creque Family
