Thanks guys. He had a long and happy life and, at 87, it isn't like he went before his time. He lived his life to the fullest and had no regrets. He loved being the family eccentric and keeping the conformists off balance. The last year or so was very hard for him with serious health problems so I believe he was ready to go. I know he missed my Aunt dreadfully since she passed away after 63 years together. I'm sad that he isn't here with us anymore, but I'm sad for us, not for him. We'll all miss him.
