My Dad was diganosied right when Wyatt was born (19 months ago) with lung cancer. He has had a few bumps but done quite well. Since this summer he has had problems with his shoulder and we had to cancel his dream redfish trip. However things have gotten worse he has lost fight with cancer they are now just helping with the pain. He went to the hospital yesterday for blood transfusion due to hard time breathing and spitting up blood. I hope he can leave hospital today with oxygen. It does not seem to be a very longtime left in this world.
I only tell you this b/c I talk more with the PB family than most anyone else. I appreciate your prayers in the past and seek them again. I'm a believer in the power of prayer, that it helps in many ways. Too bad to lose such a outstanding man and fisherman at 59. Thanks so much and I may not get a chance to post for awhile. thanks

I'm so sorry to hear that, Greg. We will be thinking of you and your family up here in PA.

Greg, I've already started the prayers. I believe in the power of prayer as well because I've seen that power at work.

We are a big family here at Pond Boss. In some small way we share in each others triumphs and tragedies. I hope that through prayer and positive thought we can turn this into a story of triumph for your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Went through it with my Mom about 4 or 5 years ago. If words would help, you would have them. Prayers you will get.
Call if we can help.

We'll be praying for you and your father, Greg.
Remember Romans 8:28.
"Only after sorrow's hand has bowed your head will life become truly real to you; then you will acquire the noble spirituality which intensifies the reality of life. I go to an all-powerful God. Beyond that I have no knowledge--no fear--only faith."

You have my sympathies and best wishes. I lost my father when he was 93 (and I was 61). My mother just turned 96.
Fifty-Nine is much too young.
My prayers are with you and your entire family.

Greg, I lost my dad 30 years ago and he was only 56. I will light a candle for your Dad and add him to my prayer list. Take care my friend and remain strong.
In Dog Beers, I've had one.

There are never enough words to comfort or express sympathy. Whether life is long or short, we must look at the happiness that someone brought into our lives.
At 60, it seems to me that 59 is way too young to go. But, I could be ready to go tomorrow. If that should happen, I would hope that my family and friends would gather in happy celebration and remember all the happiness we had together.
