Just a note to whom it may concern. I will be way from the shop and the home for a while. My dad passed away at around 7:15 PM and I am going to see my mom for a few days.
Thanks , Mike Fifer

Thanks Guys , I am back at home and my mother has had 2 years to prepare herself but you just never know the day. He died almost instantly and without pain and at home with a loving wife and with his wishes to be carried out , of no service or funeral. Although he is not in the house , somehow it was a comfortable feeling knowing he was at peace and not tormented by his deteriorating mental and physical state. He had wanted to die for months and had actually searched for his guns , but my mom had already hidden them from him. He also had told my mom he had a one on one talk with god and seemed to be content with that as well.
I prefer to remember him as the man who used to wake me as a teenager on a hot summer day to take a 100 mile weekend trip to some out of the way Civil War fort here in New Mexico to dig and sift dirt for days on end to recover a hand full of uniform buttons he could hold them in his hand and dream back to the days when that soldier stood in that spot and looked accross the same mesa's and beat a living out of the harsh desert.
Now he can be with those soldier boys .

This is hard but family will help to make it better - talk about the funny times and extend his time here with memories - my prayers and thoughts are with you and yours!
My condolences to you and yours, Mike.
You will be a comfort to your Mum. Remember the good times.
