My Dad Passed Away

[BruceB]

My Dad, Ellwood, passed away Wednesday evening, he was 81 years old. I loved my Dad very much, something he knew but I didn't tell him often enough. He will be sorely missed.

He had the normal aches and pains you would expect being 81, but he was in relatively good health. We played 18 holes of golf a week ago Sunday...a game he loved. He didn't hit the ball very far these days but he never missed a fairway off the tee all day. An accomplishment I haven't mastered yet.

It appears that while getting the trash ready to take out, something happened and he sat down in a chair in the garage and according to the ME probably suffered a massive heart attack.

If you could remember him in your thoughts and prayers it would be greatly appreciated.

Awww... Bruce. Man, thoughts for you and family- and one for him- God speed to Heaven.

Sorry bro.

[Rich Parker]

Sorry to hear about your loss. I am sure he is probably teeing off on the greatest course in the world right now.

Damn Bruce,
I am so very sorry. I lost my dad suddenly and unexpectedly 5 yrs ago. There are no words to really comfort you right now but please know Deb and I are thinking of you and your family.

Take care,
Scott

Our trhoughts and prayers are with you Bruce. I lost my father 2 years ago. I miss him and love him very much, and I tell him that now all the time.

Very sorry to hear about your dad Bruce. My thoughts and prayers are with you and him. At least he went quick and didn't suffer. I lost my dad to Alzheimer's several years ago and that had to be the nastiest thing I've ever seen anyone suffer thru.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words and thoughts over the last few days and I especially want to thank the GLBBQA for the flower arrangement that was sent in my Dad's name, it was beautiful and greatly appreciated.

This has been a long weekend but the time spent with family and friends has made it easier. Once again, THANK YOU all for your friendship, it is truly appreciated!

Bruce,
Don't think twice about it. We may be a group spread throughout the state with different interests and opinions in regards to bbq but we are all "friends".

Take care,
Scott
