It is with both sadness and happiness that Bucky and I leave Alaska tomorrow. We were notified yesterday of Dad's death. As described to us by Jean McCandless, who was so instrumental in keeping Dad in his own home, he "looked peaceful, as if he was sleeping". Dad was found unresponsive in his favorite chair in the living room after having enjoyed a "fine" cup of coffee with his caregiver only a short time before. We have regrets about not being closer to Burlington at this time, but feel comforted and happy knowing that Dad passed on as he had wished, quietly, peacefully, without illness or struggle, in his "own little house".
