At about 1:55pm today dad passed away.
He was struggling all morning, fighting the pain and the pain killers.
Gabriel, Vic & I ran out to lunch at Vic's favorite restaurant (Taco Bell) and when we came back we all checked in on him.
Dad was half asleep, breathing hard, so Gabriel made a couple phone calls, and when he checked on him again, he was no longer breathing.
He rearranged him to look more peaceful, closed his eyes, and let Connie know.
Con called the paramedics -
I was in the back bathroom still trying to put the sink back together - heard con's voice and came to check - Uncle Gabriel told me.
Yes, Uncle Gabriel blew the horn.
He got this one on all of us.
Thank you for your gentleness and sense of humour thru this.
Dad's at peace now.
Parametics pronounced him - spoke with his Doctor Itkonen, Con explained he was a DNR and had the paperwork for them.
I think Burbank emptied out it's police & fire dept to come here - about 6 or 7 guys running about.
They took down all the info, contacted the Coroner's office and gave approval to release the body.
Con contacted the Cremation Society and they should be here within the hour.
Dad is dead.
Dad is at peace.
His body is no longer hurting him.

Dear Julie,
Just got the sad news. I'm glad Uncle Pepe got out of the hospital and made it home to Burbank and that he had family around when he died. He was a good Uncle.
