Thanks friends. Unfortunately, I have to report that he passed away this afternoon. There was just too much damage. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

[4AUsince62 10]

Sorry for y'alls loss Afer, will do.

[EagleFlight34 101]

Hey A4E, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm praying for you, buddy, and have you all in my thoughts. Lean on each other, and know that you have people here thinking about you all.

[EagleFlight34 101]

In the same vein Golf was in earlier....

This is a favorite of mine for a couple of reasons.

[telling tiger 156]

I'm sorry buddy, our thoughts are with you.

[Guest FEARLESSANDTRUE]

Thanks Golf, love him.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. It means a lot to me. It's strange that both of my sisters lost their husbands in the last nine months, actually nine months to the day.

This one just sold his auto repair garage and retired at 69 on December 31st. He had gotten up Thursday morning, piddled around, then went back to the garage he had owned just to see everybody. He went back home, ate lunch and watched TV and then took a nap in his recliner. My sister was reading on the sofa and fell asleep also. She heard him make a noise and woke up. He was trying to get out of his chair but couldn't. She ran over to the chair and she said he was trembling and staring at her with a confused look. She asked if he was OK. He didn't respond at all. She grabbed his hands and said squeeze, no response. She asked if he knew who she was, no response. She called 911 and they were there in less than two minutes. They know all the policemen and firemen/medics in Irondale where they lived. They checked vitals and BP was low which I guess was because of the bleeding in his brain, everything else was OK. They couldn't get a response and immediately loaded him in the ambulance. He never regained consciousness. Tough times for the family. He and my sister had plans for some travel and spending time with my other sister at her house on the beach in Gulf Shores.

Thanks again my friends.

That is so sad and my heart aches for your family. They will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.

[EagleFlight34 101]

Afer....it is strange how they both lost their husbands within a year, but it saddens me to say that it isn't strange to me. We practically the same thing happen in our family with both of my uncles in less than a year. My mother lost both of her brothers.

Several years back we lost another uncle on the other side of the family in virtually the same manner you just described.

This world is tough sometimes.

I guess it happens. That was a lot on your mother losing both her brothers in a short time.

Thank you!!

[4AUsince62 10]

So much like my Mom only we had a year to say goodbye. So sorry for you guys Afer.

Said while trying to find a lining of any color much less silver, at least the beach sister will be able in some small way to help Irondale sister with what to expect. So sad.

[EagleFlight34 101]

Saw him do this one live just a little while ago. It is one of everyone's favorites:

[telling tiger 156]

That was my dad's favorite cover of that song, hope you don't mind but I'm not going to listen.

[EagleFlight34 101]

Did you know Squire wrote that one?

[EagleFlight34 101]

There is an old standard titled just "Beulah Land", though.

[telling tiger 156]

Didn't know he wrote that, but "BL" is the one I was talking about, road is a little mushy on that memory lane.

[EagleFlight34 101]

I wont hold it against you.

He's been sick lately, and his son and daughter-in-law are singing with him more and more. Pretty good harmony.

[telling tiger 156]

I see Mr. A4e lurking, what's going on with you, bud?

[Guest FEARLESSANDTRUE]

Good morning beautiful people!

[telling tiger 156]

Good morning, ma'am...

Barn, should we send dogs? A sled? Brandy? Firewood?

[Barney 10]

A4e, I'm very sorry to hear about your family's loss. Thoughts are with you all.

tt, all is good here. I travelled to the western side to visit family. Happy farmers out there. Tough on the ones who are beef farmers, new born calves do not do well in weather like this. In a way, it brings me back down to earth after watching a community help each other after a storm like this, some tough people out there.

I'm back in my office warm and safe for now.
