My Father died earlier tonight.

My Mother called me earlier tonight to tell me he collapsed in the kitchen at 7.30 pm while he was getting a glass of milk. Initial speculation seems to be Diabetic shock which took its toll. Apparently he fainted and just never woke up again.....at least I hope that's the way it happened for him.

I will be going home soon. I have to go for my Father and, of course, my Mother needs me now. I will be absent for a while.

My Father was Istvan Laslo, born July 5th 1937 - died May 17th, 2007, Age 69.....just shy of his 70th.

He loved his family and he was obsessed with soccer. He died within minutes of watching some soccer on TV, so there is some consolation he was enjoying something he liked before the end.
May he Rest in Peace.

Tib,
I just learned about your father in a phone call I received regarding your brother. Please accept my deepest condolences. Despite what your brother might have told you I am not a monster and truly care for you all deeply. I lost my father in February of this year and as such feel the depth of your loss. I have you all in my prayers and wish you all well.
