My Father In Law passed away Sunday evening. He was a great guy. He raised seven kids, worked two jobs, and lived for life. When he retired, he hung out at the library and looked up stuff he was always interested in. He learned how to run a computer, learned how to speak German, and was a model airplane nut. He would make kites for my husband when he was a little kid. He’d stay up all night making the perfect kite, and then wake Mr. Kalhoun up at 5 a.m. so they could head out to the lake to fly it.
After his stroke, he’d get stuck on silly little jokes and repeat them over and over.
Sincere condolences to you and your family Kalhoun . Take some comfort in knowing that, as you said, he lived for life, and therefore lived a rich, full life, albeit not a long enough one.
