Rest in Peace, Dad
#1
My Dad passed away a little over a month ago at the age of 55. He "lost" his battle with colon cancer after being diagnosed about a year ago. It's hard to say that he lost because he fought so hard against impossible odds. Even at the end he was as strong as a bull.

My Dad is the one who got me interested in basketball. We had one hell of a court set up in our driveway when I was growing up. If it weren't for him I probably wouldn't care about basketball or find myself on this forum today. Thank you Dad.

My Dad was 10x the player I ever was. Here is a picture of him from his HS team. He is the white guy on the right.

Love you Dad. Miss you.

RIP to your Dad.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks so fucking much. 

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Years though. And I gotta tell your Dad thanks in prayers for getting you interested in basketball! The forum wouldn't be the same without the fresh Dougie!

I wish you all strength in this world. Lost my dad to cancer as well, he died at 54. Basically changed my entire life.

I hope you have a good support system. I didn't cope well.
