He lived a wonderful life

My father passed away on Sunday, 10/15/2023, at the age of 91. We initially learned of his very high PSA level on 10/14/2021 (two years prior), with the diagnosis of Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer soon thereafter. In addition to advanced prostate cancer, he had dementia that progressed significantly in his last several months. He died peacefully and without much apparent pain, which is a blessing. He lived a wonderful life, and we miss him dearly. I have learned so much from this incredible group of warriors. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and support you in all that you are doing to help each other out.

Here is my dad's obituary if you are interested in learning about his remarkable life. Andrea
