My mother's dad passed away this morning at the age of 95. He has been battling stage four lung cancer for a year, but that's not what got him. He developed pneumonia earlier this week and began a drastic decline. This morning, he simply didn't wake up.
Vincenzo Garofalo served in and survived WW2, was forced into retirement from 40 years of working shrimping and fishing docks in Florida at the age of 65 (which he was pissed about for years, he was a tough old dog).
His loss has, and will touch many people who knew him throughout his life and he left behind a very large family.
I would like to request for simple prayers or kind wishes for my mother and our family. I don't need loads of responses or PMs with condolences, but would appreciate any and all positive feelings sent our way.
Thank you for your time AO. Best wishes and take care everyone.
