55 years old ... watched him take his last breath with his mother and his wife of 30 years by his side. Sad evening ... but his pain is gone and he is in a better place, it is just us that are left who are sad and will miss him.

Sorry to hear. It got me thinking, that's not too far off from my age. The older I get, the more I come to the realization that life can be taken away in an instant.
