Our friend Federali, Absent Comrade (A letter from Denise #175.)
Fred and I each just got a heartbreaking phone call from Paul. He was calling to say goodbye.
He is presently in the hospital but will be going home in a few days. He said his body is so battered that he has stopped dialysis and chemo. He doesn't have long. He asked us to let the forum know as it was a happy place for him and he was glad to be a part of it.
He asked for prayers for a gentle passing and prayers for his beloved wife Denise.
He also asked that I post this pic of his family from Christmas.
I am going to miss him.

I read and enjoyed many of Federali's posts. This is a serious loss to our board. May God receive him into Paradise painlessly and comfort those he leaves behind.

You have fought the good fight, Paul, and you can now rest easy. You have many friends here who have enjoyed and valued and loved you, and your presence here has been a blessing to us. You will be missed, and you will be remembered. Thank you for letting us know, through Rusty, that you are thinking of us as you reach trail's end. Until we meet again, pardner.

If memory serves, he is a former Long Islander, so this is a reminder that I too, should get on with becoming a former Long Islander.

May God make your passing as easy as possible for you and your family. Say hello for us to those that passed before you and let them know they are not forgotten and are missed as you shall be missed.
