His heart, lungs, kidneys and almost all of his other organs were giving out. He kept up the fight, but in the end; he just couldn't do it anymore. He was 70 years old. He was a Hippy who loved life and enjoyed it up until he passed away. I miss him and love him. I know in he is in a better place with no pain and reunited with all the his loved ones that went before him. Love you Dad always and forever!
