This has been ongoing for a number of years, but he unfortunately passed on late last night due to complications of a combination of prostate cancer and a failing liver. Unfortunately the decreased function of his liver would not allow him to take on more treatments for the cancer.

He lived a good life, saw all his kids have kids, he couldn't ask for more. He taught me everything I know as far as my mechanical abilities. Well, except for not paying attention on how to wire a Neutrik properly...lol.

We are doing ok, seems a lot easier today he''s in a good place now and will be missed.

RIP Big Dog.

    Sorry for your loss. Obviously not easy to lose your father, but you seem to be handling it well. Seems similar to when my dad passed...I was sad for me, but happy for him that he was no longer suffering.
