My Father's Passing...

Once more I find myself in the position of posting something rather sad to OurEcho. After a long battle with Parkinson’s, my father passed away on January 11th.

Though death is rarely a welcome visitor, my father is certainly in a far better place than he had been the last two months without my mother. The last year and a half were very difficult for both my parents. But 70+ good years measured against a couple of tough ones is a pretty good deal and one they were quick to acknowledge. I can now rest much easier knowing they are together.

I’m not sure where I am today – kind of numb I guess. But over the next few weeks, I’ll get some sleep and get back to things including OurEcho.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
