Hey all.

I'm currently at the hospital with one of my oldest and dearest friends.  He's currently in the hospice section of the hospital and he doesn't have many days left.  I ask, if you would, to give up a little prayer asking for my friend to be comfortable until the end.  He has some sort of fibrous lung issue, so it is very difficult for him to breathe, let alone talk.  At his age and health, there is little that the doctors can do beyond letting nature run its course.   

Thanks everyone.  It's greatly appreciated.

As someone who's been through several close losses this month, I understand what you're going through.  I will pray for you.

He is in my thoughts. I lost a relative to something similar; friends family and words make all the difference.

Done.  He, his family, and his friends (including you) will be in my thoughts and prayers.  That's gotta be a hard thing to go through.

Thanks again, everyone.  Reports are that he passed away about 3 hours after I left.  He was sleeping and breathing relatively well when I left.  Hopefully he passed just as peacefully.

RIP and sorry for your loss, MODU, even though it is what was best for him under the circumstances.

The people in hospice are awesome.  We're dealing with them ourselves.  I'm sure they made him comfortable as can be.

Thanks, everyone.

We had the memorial service for him last weekend, and it's amazing how one individual can touch the lives of so many. I counted more than 325 people in attendance.  Simply amazing!  He will be greatly missed.

From his obit:

"...he enlisted in the Army at 18, serving in Italy and Germany at end of WWII. His second tour was again in Germany in 1954 with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Division, Company D. He also did tours of duty in Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. He was awarded several decorations including the Legion of Merit. "

"... serving as a Chaplain with the Prince William County Police Department [starting in 1983]. He helped develop the chaplain program with the County Police and still went out on calls until just a few months before his death."
