Thanks to all of you for the messages. While none of this will ever be easy, knowing that the last two days my family and my dad were able to be together doing what we love. Watching basketball with the occasional beer. My dad passed not 100 yards from
Duquesne
, where he played college basketball. We even had dinner with one of his dear Pittsburgh friends last night, rode the incline looking over the city, and were able to watch the Dukes with his best friend from college Wednesday night. He died as I went to grab us two Iron City Lights...the beer that hundreds of his stories in the Burgh undoubtedly started out with. The how and the why will never be understood, but I don't think my dad would have wanted anything different. Family, friends, and basketball.
The support from the University, friends, and strangers is greatly appreciated.
Duquesne
