Another repost also from PoD boards, a little bit more information about what happened, and a request for stories to be sent... ~sad smile~ It still hasn't sunk in yet... ~wanders off to bake, as it's the one thing that helps me cope with something like this~

Greetings to you all. Yes, this, I am logging in to confirm that the man you all knew as Casius, or Kangi, a physician, has passed away. He has struggled with illness and injury for several years, and was just finally starting to recover and get his life back.
On Wednesday, we met and made plans for the spring and summer, fixing his fence, repairing my roof, he was going to make arrangements to take my two youngest to swim lessons this summer so he would have the excuse to swim and get back into shape.
Early Friday morning, April 30,2010 he was taken into hospital with breathing trouble and passed away shortly after. It is believed that a blood clot from a recent surgery got to his lungs.
So in a couple of hours, instead of our usual breakfast; I will be going down to formally identify the body, and read the prayers for the departed.
if you have something, a story, a memory that you would like to share with his family, you may email them to me at
stratelates@hotmail.comI will see that they get to his sister.
You knew him as Casius, or Kangi, or Casca, I just called him brother.
May his memory be Eternal.
Strategos of Kassar.
