RIP, Dad
-
I’m sorry that you lost your father. He sounds like a remarkable man.
-
What a life he had! So sorry for your family´s loss, Horace.
-
Thanks again, everybody.
@jodi - I didn't know you lived in Madison! That's neat. I spent my first 33 years there.
@Friday - my mom is understandably devastated. This is hardest on her, having lived with him for 60 years. He's a part of her, and the void he left is the most difficult thing she's ever had to deal with. The kids are taking turns being with her, so she can ease into her new life without him. I'll probably spend April there with her in Missouri.

So sad for you mom. Good that you can spend April there. 1051 Jennifer Street, on the isthmus between the lakes - that’s where we lived. Really old house, found and Indian head penny when I dug up a space to put a garden in the yard. Used to love walking over to the Essenhaus (spelling?). And brats and beer on the terrace at the University. Really enjoyed living there. Great bike rides around Lake Monona.

Yes, it's a beautiful area. I spent my 0-dark-o'clock mornings my freshman year at the UW, rowing lake Mendota on the freshman crew team.
