Stephen Andrew Martin 1924 to 2007

Yesterday morning, quietly, peacefully and as painlessly as was possible, my father left this world for one where he can now breathe freely and be active like he once was.

Dad was 82 and if he had lived, he and mom would have been married 58 years in June.  He loved his family and we are all the better for his having lived.

It's hard but it was much harder seeing him last week become something he never wanted to be a full invalid.  Dad's free now and someday we will see him again.

I love you Dad.
