It's been nearly a week since my dad passed away peacefully at age 88. I actually drafted something to post here but didn't because I figured he wouldn't have wanted the attention. I never heard him brag and he did little to draw attention to himself. But he had a fanbase.
The formal Fresno Bee obit offers a quick overview of Dad's life, and is a good place to share your thoughts and memories. There also are various threads on Facebook and a lot of great comments in The Fresno Beehive in response to a post from Bee editorial page editor Jim Boren.
