Default Opa has gone hunting.

For those that knew him on the board, I got a PM last night from from Rick's wife telling me he had passed last October diagnosed with stage 4 cancer!
I had a message in to him last fall because his phone was disconnected and I suspected something serious.
Sad news for sure, I will see you on the other side , Opa!

Sad to hear of this. Not good. I really liked him and thought he was a great member. How old was he?

To bad seemed like a really good guy. Condolences from my family to his.

How is his daughter doing? Thought she was dealing with cancer as well.

His daughter passed on 4 weeks before him, my heart goes out to his wife, terrible chain of events for her to deal with ,
Not sure how old Opa was , I think he was between 65 and 70 but not certain.
