Cancer is a mean disease, it strikes the young ones just like others. We also lost the best man from our wedding to stomach carcinoma a couple months ago, made it only to 55. He was a great engineer as well, with analog skills. And they had just adopted a kid from an orphanage. Good thing is the kid is very open-minded, I could talk with him about the death of his new dad.
Death of a parent can be really hard on kids. When Duane died, their daughter Allison was only four. For a long time, any time she was introduced to a new person, kid or adult, she'd start immediately with, "My Daddy died".
She's over it now, and so outgoing that, two summers in a row, she'd garnered the lead part in the Valley Youth Theater summer presentation... a real Ethel Merman in miniature ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
