You have my sincere sympathy. I am a nurse at Taylorville Hospital in the infusion department. He has brightened my day since April when he started coming in for IV fluids most days. We talked about electricity , oil spills, golf, cooking, ceramic tile instillation, all different places in the United States he had visited, and mostly his and my grandkids. He was quite a jokester and loved to plan tricks for his grandkids. He was already planning their gifts for Christmas and I am sorry he won't be there in his physical body to see them. He loved family and life. He will be missed. Sincerely, Karen Herman
