He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last November; this was apparently actually on the long side for survival for a cancer of this type.<br /><br />I was down there visiting him just last weekend, for which I'm very grateful. He was fully lucid and happy to see me (though extremely weak).<br /><br />He was a good man, and a good dad, and I'll miss him very much.<br /><br />I may have more to say after I've processed more.<br /><br />(And I'm glad now I tried to sell my Worldcon membership, or I wouldn't have posted to this journal since my grandfather died eight years ago. I need to post more, or indeed at all.)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=akawil&ditemid=6092" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:277846:5653 2017-08-03T16:37:33Z 2017-08-03T16:37:33Z public 0 It's a bit last-minute, but if anyone knows someone who still needs a Worldcon 75 membership, I forgot I upgraded to an attending membership at some point. I'll sell it for $100 US.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=akawil&ditemid=5653" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
