Ed, I wish I had met your dad but have the utmost respect for his knowledge, willingness to share it, itegrity, humor and more. I have been praying for him regularly since this illness began, and am very, very sad to hear the news.
I lost my own dad early this year, at age 96, after almost two months in the hospital (no cancer but unable to recover from more general things). I now offer the same prayer I said for him, for your dad -- "Lord, when you're ready to take him please do so swiftly and without pain." And I will add "Please comfort and bless the family."
If you can, please tell him that Fred (Hazard) says "a Dios," in the true meaning, with moist eyes and thanks for his ongoing help.
