It breaks my heart to announce that Dad passed away this morning in his sleep. He battled cancer for 5 years silently as to not bother or worry anyone. Never stopping or letting it get in his way. He was a hero among men, larger than life as some would say. Some didn't know him but they knew of him. Spending these last year's with him and away from tracks grew our relationship of father and son to different levels and I will forever be great full for making the right decision. His wisdom and life experiences are something that will last with me forever. He was my hero, father, my champion.
