He sounds like a wonderful person. It is very admirable that he managed to keep a sense of humor even after the tumor diagnosis. My condolences to you and all his other loved ones. ---

During one of the earlier hospital visits, he motioned me over and said, “You’re standing on my air hose.” That made me laugh out loud.
