Sorry for the delay, I (Josh, son-in-law) know how much dad has meant to everyone. I have been trying to post for a few days now. I am using moms account.
Thanks to Jesus, ALS and death itself have been conquered. On Feb 23 dad went to be with his Lord and Savior. He had complete peace about his decision and his big grin was seen by the hospital staff. He shrugged off the small delays and inconveniences and eagerly awaited his final journey to his glorified body. His lifelong soul mate Christine was by his side to the very end, to the beginning.
His children all came to spend time with him in his final days here and it was very difficult to say goodbye. We all knew it was "see you later" but we miss him deeply.
I wanted to say thank you so much for all the love, support and prayers dad received from everyone here. One of the main ways dad showed his love was through the work of his hands and serving others. From making toys for his children to the wee hours of the morning to fixing, installing, programming or helping in innumerable ways. He was the most skilled man I have ever known. ALS tried to take that away from him. Dad would not let it. His website is a labor of love and thanks to this forum he has been able to serve and love each of you.
I can't say it enough, Thank you. Dad has never felt more love from others than in the last few years. He has collected love everywhere he went but one of the silver linings of this disease is the intensity and honest communication of that love. Thank you.
