Hello All,
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.

I hope that this doesn't seem insensitive, but I was not aware that Jim was ill. Seeing as how I've been around here for 9 years, I'll assume other may not be aware of what caused his untimely decline. Just for the sake of awareness, could someone elaborate on his illness?
This comes as a complete shock to me....I'm sad that I neglected to notice his inactivity.

Condolences to you and your family. I will miss your dad. Thank you for taking the time to let us know.
(We've lost two long-time Planeteers in a month's time, this stinks!)
