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 was 21 when my mom passed. She was also 43. The cause wasn't the same. My father passed 16 months later at the age of 49. I'm on track for 46. [Reply]
It's been a week now, so I'm going to go ahead and unstick this thread. Feel free to bump it every once in a while if you'd like, or eventually someone will probably start a "Logical" thread in the new history forum. [Reply]

I'm not certain it's appropriate based on your vision of the "History Forum", Mr. DaFace, but it might be a fair idea to move this thread over there?

Hmm...an interesting idea Mr. FAX. My worry with that is that I'd prefer to remember Jim as he was rather than for his passing. I'd think a thread discussing his contributions to the Planet would fit that role more appropriately. However, I'm certainly open to dissenting opinions. [Reply]
