Dan Szymanski - loved father 1933-2010

Post by NotANugget » Wed Mar 16, 2011 9:18 am

After a long battle with multiple illnesses, my father passed onto the next leg of his journey today at approx. 11:45 e.d.t.

He died part of the freakish phenomenon know only as 'married parents' - he had been involved in this experiment for 44 years and all indicators are that it was a complete success. I remember things from having my father as my Little League coach to having my parents take me to see Pagliacci featuring Pavoratti at the LA Music Center. Closest thing to Ozzie and Harriet this side of reality.

Yup... this sucks ass...

Ever have a theme punch you in the face and fucking tea bag you?

shit
damn
fuck....

Love you Dad, going to miss the fuck out of you.

Condolences.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

NaN, my deepest condolences. You're father sounded like one in a million!
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.
