My visit Back East / Obituary

As many of you know, my father passed away on Tuesday. I flew back on Thursday to meet up with my family in Massachusetts. He died peacefully in his sleep.
My mother and I went to the funeral home on Friday to view the body and to pay our last respects. Below is the obituary as it appeared in the Saturday newspaper.

Arthur W. Perkins 1926-2012

I just received the sad news that my father has passed away. He died of complication of COPD and Congestive Heart Failure. He was 85.

The past week, he has been under Home Hospice Care. He died at home, as he had wanted it.

2011-05-14-QBT 2011 was low-key. It was about as cold as last year. It was good to sit around the fire. Tony served excellent food as usual! A good time was had by all!

RIP Beast

I just logged in and got the stunningly sad news that Beast has died. I have no words at this point. I last chatted with him On the phone Saturday to ask him if it was alright to come over for a visit. He was very ill at this point. My only consolation is that my last words to him were 'I love you'.

Here are links to several past post in which Beast was featured:

Maybe it's good that Oprah will be going off the air! Yesterday's show featured some snotty queen named Tim Gunn from teh Project Run(a)way. Three cases of facial defoliation. ACK! The worst was the trasformation of this total wet dream of a bear, Josh -- into a member of a boy band, to please his wife!

Teddy needs a friggin' HOBBY!

dhpbear — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:57:21 GMT

Any suggestions?

Teddy BARKS!

dhpbear — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 06:08:00 GMT

I was at my computer about an hour ago and heard Teddy barking at some loud pedestrians outside! Also, at that time, I fed him.
Oh, I hope he doesn't get all Pavlovian on our asses and starts barking whenever he wants ~~food~~ to eat something - we'd never shut him up!

Wow!
