Stop The Search

Its almost 4AM, and my parents called me about an hour ago.

My Uncle Lloyd has passed away. They knew no details yet to tell me except that his body had been found.

Thank you all for your recent support, and anyone who may have helped, kept their eyes peeled, etc. My family at least now has some closure and we can properly mourn my Uncle's passing. He was a good Husband, a good Father, a good Uncle, a wonderful, loving, caring Person. He will be greatly missed. Although I'm sure now he's with my grandparents, his parents-in-law who loved him dearly, in as he put it when my Grandma Annette passed away "The Great Diner in the Sky."

Right now I am saddened and shocked and somewhat sleepy having been woken at 3AM, but all I want to say is this. In the Jewish mourners custom...
