Goodbye, Daddy Jack; see you in awhile

[David Simpson]

Dan, you have written a wonderful tribute to your dad. I will be praying for you and your family during this time of grieving.

Hi All, Dear Friends,

My sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone for your kind and gentle words of comfort and tribute. Jack would have been thrilled and my sister Denise and I are deeply touched and grateful.

Though not a surprise, this has hit me hard and it will take awhile for things to be better. I'll get there, but I may have to gear down for the hills and ride the drops against the stiff headwind for awhile.

All the best and with much appreciation,

Dan.

Dan, take whatever time and space you and Denise need -- we'll manage.  If there is something we can offer from our time-and-distances, please let us know and we'll respond.  John

[Danneaux]

Thanks, John -- truly  -- for such understanding and compassion.

Jack was very foresighted and asked Denise and I to make his prepaid arrangements in advance, but there is still so much to be done, and of course time needed to absorb it all and grieve, reflect, and celebrate a life well-lived.

I'll be around administratively, but perhaps not so actively engaged for just a little while.

All the best and many thanks,

Dan.

Dan as I've said previously in other forums, may your grief not overwhelm your celebration of his remarkable, joyful and long life. Your description of your relationship says everything about you both.

Looking forward to our hoped-for meet-up towards the end of next month.

Looking forward to our hoped-for meet-up towards the end of next month.

<nods> Surely. Sammy, things are uncertain here now, but should come into focus as time goes by. Let's keep in touch via Facebook and Thorn PM and email so we can work toward a date as things crystallize.

All the best,

Dan.

Your Daddy has gone but the love remains.
