My Father passed away on Friday, December 13th from complications from an injury he sustained on 10/31/13. He fell in his home, hit his head & was on a blood thinner that caused severe complications. He never recovered post surgery.
Born on Friday March 13th 1940 mid-wife in his parents home on Kenmare st. in Manhattan My Grand Father changed his "official" birthday to March 14th because he did not want his son to have been born on Friday the 13th. How ironic that his death came on Friday the 13th.. My father would speak of his up bringing on the lower east side often & was very proud of where he came from.
My Father was a huge influence in my life. He was such a good man. My Mother who was a difficult woman was sick for many years through out my life & he took care of her until she passed away in April of 2010. He lived his life, but at the end of the day he came home to her every day for 43 years & she wasn't very nice to him most of the time.
The real shame of this situation is that my Father was 99% healthy when this accident happened. His only issue was an ongoing issues with blood clots in his leg that I believe began in 1987 when he slipped & fell on the ice out side of our home. The issue became more prevalent in 1999 when he was hospitalized for the clots. & since than they would come & go, but the past couple of years they became more of an issue & the normal blood thinners weren't working so he was given a very powerful non reversible thinner. The worst thing in the world that could have happened to him happened to him. A head injury.
My Pops took very good care of himself during the course of his life, exercised every day, played sports as a young man, didn't smoke, didn't drink to excess, we did enjoy our meals. Him & I could watch Sports & talk for hours while picking on all sorts of different foods that we liked, & than say to each other we really need to watch what we are eating. But the net day we would both be in the gym working it off.
My Dad was a good man. I'm so happy he lived long enough to see his first & only Grand child, my Son Daniel. I'm so sad that Daniel will not get to meet this great man & learn from him like I did. I'm going to miss him very much.
The Funeral is today.
Please take a moment to read his obituary. It only scratches the surface of his accomplishments but I think it gives you an idea of who he was & how good of a person he was.
