There is no question, it was his greatest role.
The optimism as well as the candor in facing this illness realistically was, I think,
a real testimonial to his character.

One of my favorite pictures of him was taken just this year in May. He has the biggest,
broadest grin on his face and yet, you can see the gauntness and ravages of this hideous
disease.

He really held strong and remained valiant to the end. Especially with pancreatic cancer, it takes great strength to endure it, especially those that are diagnosed with such a late stage of the disease.My great aunt just died of Pancreatic cancer, and her sister died of it several years ago. It is such a painful thing to watch, knowing that they are suffering and even with the care of a nurse, it is just knowing that their days are numbered that makes it so hard. Prayers go out to his family.
