My Dad died recently at the age of 90. for the last several months, we (my sibs and I) had been planning a big belated birthday party for him on 2 July. But Dad just couldn't hold on - he had been in very poor health for the last few months. Here's the official obituary.

Here's a picture of Ambrose and Marcella on their wedding day.




















And one of dad taken about 15 years ago by Kyle.













We decided to delay the funeral, etc. for a week because over 60 people - dad's eight kids, 22 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, etc. - already had made travel and lodging arrangements to be in Iowa this weekend. So, his birthday party will now be a celebration of his long and happy life.

I'm flying to Iowa on Wednesday and will be there for 10 days.
