Update-10/29/11: My father passed away last night with my whole family by his side. He was 61.
He was a wonderful father, grandfather, husband, and brother. Out of all the things he truly enjoyed in life, good food was at the top of his list– specifically pizza. So, please, have some pizza this weekend in his memory. He will be greatly missed.

The doctors are doing all they can, but it doesn’t look like my father is going to make it. I really have no words to express how I am feeling right now, so I’m going to share a few pictures instead. Please keep my family in your thoughts.





Your father is in my thoughts and prayers. We’ve all got our fingers crossed for good news soon. This is a terrible thing to happen to such a wonderful family. I am sorry again
