[beermantm]

After the last two years of fighting for his life........after beating cancer.........after making through on a resperator...........and after surviving a major syrgery the other night and being in stable condition.........my uncle Jack gave it up today..........his body had been through to much...........

God bless you uncle Jack........You were one of the toughest guys I have ever known........verry tough loss for christmas.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[bookiekilla]

Sorry for the loss bro....prayers are with you and your family...i lost my grandfather a couple of years ago around holiday time...i know how tough it can be...stay strong bro

[beermantm]

I don't know if I should cry for him or be happy for him that he does not have to suffer anymore. I'm crying mostly but still have that feeling of peacefullness also. My aunt Carol was ripped away from us by Cancer this year already.......now my uncle Jack......and my uncle Ed is being treated for stage four cancer also.............

I'm glad my parents are healthy or I would be having a nervous breakdown right now.

Thank you guys I appreciate the thoughts and prayers.

Again sorry about what happened. Beer you should really be getting a checkup every 6 months with that type of family history of cancer. All the guys in my family have diabetes except me knock on wood.

Beer here is to you and your family...it is times like these that make up the tough parts of life. Lean on those who are close and celebrate and rejoice in the life that was Uncle Jack's!!!When you fight like he did the days were long and the nights maybe longer. Try and find solice in that he is not in pain anymore and therefore most likely happier than he has been in a while!Time heals...and once gone but never forgotten he will live on in the spirit of your family for ever!!From my Family to yours during this very hard time!Peace and Prayers Friend!

Last but not least (sorry was tied up with toys for tots all day today!) our condolences go out to you and your family.

Everybody deals with death differently, but I'll try to share my way with ya and hope you can get something out of it.

Not to change the subject, but my mom was stolen by cancer as well. She gave me a great childhood, lotsa love, always attended my games, just cared ya know? I made it through that ladies funeral damn near the whole time without shedding a tear until the very end when I had to approach the casket.

Up until then and ever since then, all I can do is smile and sometimes even bust out laughing becaue of all the great memories. My point is that it sounds like you really wear your feelings on your're sleeve about this guy, he must have been something special. Losing somebody sucks, and is surely worthy of tears, but if at all possible, try to think about all the good times you guys had together and thank god that you were able to do so. If the guy were still alive, he'd want you to be in high spirits and carrying on his legacy. ;)

Hang in there brother. Tough times like that aint nothing we ever get good at dealing with or enjoy having to endure. Another way of looking at it is that you're not saying goodbye, just a see you later ;)

[Steel]

Beer, the memories you will have forever. Will keep you and your family in our thoughts. God bless you and yours. Steel

[beermantm]

Thank you everyone for your reply's and wishes it means alot to me. I was really feeling shitty eariler today when the news came that my uncle Jack died but what I found out later when the family gathered I found it was more of a blessing..........They thaught he had beat the cancer but after doing some tests right before he died they found that his body was really being overran with the cancer..........he would have had nothing but pain and suffering to look forward too.

The family got together tonight and there was more smiling and happiness and a overall good feeling.........I'm sure my uncle would have loved to be there in good health enjoying everyone in the family. I used to talk to my uncle for hours and hours.........although most of the family are screw ups as long as we could still hold a conversation when we were in his house he never said much about us being messed up. The guy worked his life away and I spent a whole lot of years at his house with my cousins..........I'm very close as if I was one of the imediate family.

I'll be a pall bear for my uncle and the wake may start on thursday or friday depending on people that have to travel in. My only regret is that I didn't spend more time with him before he died and I have the same regret with my aunt Carol but I guess you couldn't spend enough time to make yourself not feel that way.

I'm tired and it's going to be a long week. I appreciate everyone writing to me on here.......I truely do because I will not express myself often and this gives me a bit of an outlet to do that that. Just to read peoples thaughts and wishes makes me feel better...........

Thanks again.

beer- sorry to hear about the loss. Cancer is a horrible disease that we will one day hopefully find a cure for, or some kind of preventative medicine. Thoughts and prayers with you during the holiday.

[Rothko1000]

Thoughts are with you, pal! Take care of yourself and your family!

[dead garcia]

will be thinking of you over the holiday season....

[Domer]

Beerman, I am extremely sadden by your loss. You asked if you should cry or be happy for your Uncle. I beleive the answer is both. He sounded like a true Gentleman. Best wishes bro.

[DJTranks]

Prayers to you and your family Beer. I just saw this now.

As said, death is always tough to deal with and takes time to heal. Hang in their bro, hope you feel better soon.

Had an Uncle Jack myself. Lost him 12 years ago and I still can
smell a brandage ( his name for camel filterless) light up and think of him. Married an Italian and wound up pretending he was more
italiano than her. Great memories and you will have a 100 of em too, like your UC brothers have mentioned. Hang tough and heart
felt sympathy out to ya.

Sorry to hear about your loss beer. Prayers are with you and yours.
