15th Update: Passing Away

November 14, 2018

Dear Family and Friends,

I'm so sorry to let you know that my dad passed away at 5am this morning, Wednesday November 14th, a day after he celebrated his 34th wedding anniversary with my mom. He hung in there and fought hard until the very end. He was always surrounded by an immense love and his family never left his side. The esophageal cancer attacked his bones which affected his blood (for which he had a 2nd transfusion a couple nights ago) and the immunotherapy and chemotherapy did more damage than good as it turns out. In the end his lungs shut down. We did everything we could and he is now resting in peace with his parents.
