Yep, he lived a long (74 years old) and great life despite his severe medical conditions. I've come to realize that death should be a time of happiness, rather than mourning. Cried for a few minutes but the rest of the day I kept myself reminded of all the happy and good times with him; that's all that matters. Now, he's up in Heaven, relaxing, and free from his suffering.
And too add, he was a Catholic, extreme lover of science (especially astronomy), extremely intelligent on just about every topic there is, and was a very computer-savy. He was just a well-rounded individual for his age
Anybody else experience a loss recently?

My family's most recent loss was the death of my great-uncle's wife two years ago, but that might change soon. Currently 3 of my 4 grandparents are still alive (I never knew my dad's father), and one of my grandmothers has COPD. Last time I heard, it suddenly got much worse, and she was hospitalized. Sorry to hear your loss, OP. But it's good that you're remembering the good times and not mourning on his death.
