Dave

He's our Dad and husband, but many of you know him as Papa, brother, uncle, godfather, father-in-law, brother-in-law, co-worker, or friend. We wanted to be able to share with you all the latest updates with his health and give you an opportunity to post your thoughts. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives during this very difficult time in ours.

The past several days were very difficult for my Dad in that he was sleeping most of the day and eating very little. On Saturday, 911 was called because his breathing was extremely shallow. He was taken to Akron General Hospital and once stabilized he was transported to an inpatient Hospice center in Medina. The transport itself was very concerning due to his weakened state. Deborah was with him at the center were they made him comfortable and attended to his needs. He was able to speak a bit, but even that seemed difficult. Dad was calm, quite, and slept. Early this morning, Dad died a very peaceful death with Deborah near him.
