As many of you know my Dad (Logical) has been in the hospital since January. He has been fighting a bunch of different problems, and it looked like he was going to beat it, and make it home. Unfortunately, in the past week things took a real turn for the worse. It is my understanding that he has at most two weeks left, but from what I can see myself, it probably won't be that long.
I know he really valued this board and a lot of the people on it. I wanted you all to know that he may of been a person that liked to stir things up, but he is one of the most caring people that this world has ever had to offer. He helped raise my sisters and I to be strong, loving, and intelligent people.
In these past few months, he has again found the Lord, and I strongly believe it is simply God calling him home. Please remember him for the good times, and do not judge him to harshly for the times he gave any of you heck.
He is my father, and a great man.
Thank You,
James
Update: My father passed away this morning at 7:30 am (pst). For the most part it was peaceful, my sisters and I were there with him to last second. He will be missed.
My sister read him many of your replies, and she told me he really enjoyed it. Thank you for all your kind words. [Reply]
I only met Jim once and we didn't talk a lot on here but he was certainly a major part of the board. It's hard to believe, he was just here not long ago. God bless you and your family as you go through this together James.
May God bless and keep you; May He comfort your family in this time of sadness. I believe Jim is looking down on this BB now and feeling a touch of pride at the lives he touched and influenced. You will be missed. [Reply]
James, I know what you are going through, I lost my Dad to a massive stroke less than a month ago, on April 4th...
The sadness is there and the tears will come and most often when you don't expect it. You will mourn the loss of your Father, but also look to him and his life for inspiration. Think back on the memories and cherish those times you had together, he is a part of you...
RIP Jim(you will forever be Logical to me) you will be missed... [Reply]
