Take care. And stand proud of his donation wishes.
I am sorry to hear of your loss.
You and your family are in my thoughts. I am thankful that your father didn’t suffer, and grateful that he chose to give the gift of life to others. It sounds as though you have a lot of wonderful memories to hold on to for comfort.

Cartooniverse, much sympathy to you and yours, and a special blessing for the gift of life your father was able to give to others through organ donation. Peace.
When I think of my dad, I’m a little girl again. He died when I was seventeen.
I’m sorry, Cartooniverse. It’s so damn hard when a parent dies. Hang in there.
I’m so sorry, Cartooniverse.
It sounds like your father was a great guy and lived a full life.
You and your family will be in my thoughts.
sorry Toon
Sorry for your loss, 'Toons. Thoughts and prayers headed out for you and your family.

I am a kidney/liver recipient. Take comfort knowing that your father is still helping people like me. He is still not truly gone.
I am sorry, Cartooniverse. To a brother in arms, condolences.
You’re a great guy so he lives on in you.
How awful for you, I’m so sorry.
i’m so very sorry.
may his memory be eternal.
My dad died in April, and I don’t miss him at all, because he was a lousy father. I read threads like this from people who loved their dad so much, and are in so much pain from missing him, and I don’t even need to wonder which is better, bad dad and little grief or great dad and lots of grief. I don’t want to make light of your grief or anything like that; just to remind you how great it is that you had someone worth grieving over.
I’m sorry for your troubles, Cartooniverse. 
You have my deepest and most sincere condolences.
I’m so sorry, Cartooniverse. My father died this past July; he was 51. Losing a parent at any age is rough, particularly when you have such an awesome relationship.
Speaking from personal experience – lots of people around you are going to step up now, thinking that they know what’s “best” for you and your family. It’s perfectly alright to ignore them. (And if you’re given food that looks mysterious, it’s OK to throw it out or pass it on to someone else.)
Very sorry to hear this Cartooniverse. Sounds like your father led an amazing life.
My condolences, Toons. And what Jeep’s said.
Sounds like your father led quite a life.
Aw, man. I’m so sorry for you. Sounds like your dad was a heck of a guy.
All sympathy, Cartooniverse; sounds like your dad was a great man, and had the relative blessing of not suffering. From what I know of you here, especially your beautiful Sept. 11 post, one of his good gifts to the world was a strong, capable, and caring son.
May your heart stay strong through mourning, may the love between the two of you bless the rest of your life.
