Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness and joy I tell you that my Dad has gone to his heavenly home. We are so relieved that he is now out of the awful pain he has dealt with for a long time. The doctors gave Dad 8 months when he was diagnosed with lung cancer Dec 2002. The Lord gave Dad 8 years and Dad sure made the most of those eight years. Please excuse this very impersonal form of communicating this news. I'm not sure how else to share this news with the large number of friends and colleagues Dad has.
I am so thankful to God for a wonderful Dad. I had the blessing to work with Dad
for most of my life. I had the gift of awareness that the time with Dad was most likely
limited and was able to spend a lot more time with him than I would have otherwise. We enjoyed lunch together most days for the last few years. We enjoyed two trips to Israel together. I am thankful Dad got to meet his new grandson Joshua before going home. There is so much more I am thankful for.
We are planning a memorial service to Celebrate Dad's life and ministry Saturday January 15th at 11:00 at
