“He was already gone”

PapPap passed away in his sleep yesterday morning. His wife Mary got up as usual and went to make coffee. When she returned to wake him, “he was already gone” (her words). I don’t have any more details.

There are some errors in the obit below, but I’m posting it as is so that we have a record once that newspaper Web page is gone. I did find their little American flag graphic sort of appallingly horrible, so I replaced it with a nicer looking one.

I’ll post more later. For anyone who might have looked for me, I won’t be in Nashville now for the Annual Convention, as I have family things to attend to.
