Unseen just posted these words in the public forum regarding his father recently passing away:
"He lived to 92 and died at home surrounded by his family after a long and steady decline followed by a series of medical setbacks and cataclysms. It was time to go. A very loving and generous man who never made an enemy, he will be missed by all who knew him."
Likewise in public, I have re-posted his words here to pay my respects. Unseen, as a longtime and prominent member of Think Atheist, deserves nothing less.
@Unseen: I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you're back.

Your father is within you. So let him go happily with the good memories. Do not feel upset about it, since being upset and unhappy make many people look for something to hold on to.
On “Richard Dawkins - Neil deGrasse Tyson :The Poetry of Science” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGenk99YDwY, About 1.12minutes, Neil deGrasse Tyson replied “that his body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content within it get returned to the earth so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just I have dined upon flora and fauna throughout my life”
Permalink Reply by Diane on February 6, 2013 at 7:50pm Unseen, I too am sorry for your loss. I think that is the best kind of words to be said about someone who has passed - that he or she was well loved. To me that sounds like a very successful life.
Permalink Reply by SteveInCO on February 6, 2013 at 8:42pm It sounds like your father had a long and positive run. My condolences on what must be a very painful loss.
Permalink Reply by Unseen on February 6, 2013 at 8:52pm It was made less painful because it brought an end to his suffering. I always think of that. He suffered more than such a good person should have. It makes me wish for a sudden end rather than a long, lingering one making me wish it would all come to an end.
