RIP my father-in-law

I learned today that he passed away last night. It was sudden, apparently of a heart attack after doing some yard work. He was 89 and worked up until the end.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and yours

Condolences, PW.

My sincerest condolences.

89 and able to be active through the entire trip...I hope I'm as lucky.

Most of us wish to live that kind of life and go that kind of way but I know that doesn't make things any easier so I'm sorry as well. Is mom-in-law still with you?

Yes. Yardwork at 89. Celebrate his life.

My fatherinlaw died last May at 91. Still going strong. Had fished with me the day before. I have his Bronze Star from WWII on my office wall. He was a hoss. Sounds like yours was too.

Condolences to you and your family

My condolences. :mecry:

I had a great aunt (maternal grandmother's sister) like that. She was still growing tomatoes at 90. Nobody really knows how she died, but it was on the way back to the store to get two cents back which she was shortchanged for. She may have been the victim of a mugging, but nobody will really ever know.

It's sad you father-in-law died, but he lived a decently long life, and more importantly was active until the very end, not stuck in a nursing home for the last 20 years like many are. We should all go that way.

Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate your kind words.

My mother-in-law passed a year ago. That was a little more expected as she had been in poor health and was rather frail in her later years. My father in law wasn't in the best of health, but like BigIron said, he was a hoss and pretty much took care of business until the end. He was still teaching machine shop (he was really good at that, a stickler for precision) even at his age. We should all be so lucky to have his energy and lucidity at that age.

Condolences, Photon Wrangler. Sounds like your father in law was great guy.

PW, sorry for your loss. Take care.

Indeed positive thoughts & prayers to you, family, & friends.

My Mother-in-law was put on Hospice care this week, and Dad is in horrid shape - I doubt he'll make the summer

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family

I'm sorry for you too. When my mom was put on hospice care, it was really hard on my father and the rest of the family and my mom felt real bad seeing what everybody was going thru.

Thoughts and prayers to you and the family, PW.

Sorry for your loss PW. At least he was active until his time. Let;s hope we all can do that.

Dang PW, I'm sorry. 89 and still working hard, I hope we can all be so fortunate.
