I don't know if we have a personal lives type section on the Squawk but I wanted to let you all know that my father in law passed away this morning. Mrs. Sothron is pretty upset as you can imagine. I don't know how active I will be on here for the next few days. I consider you guys friends and wanted to let you all know.

Thanks for that. Prayers for her and all of your family. Not to ask too much, but was it sudden, Soth?

Mr & Mrs Sothron and Family;  Prayers for all of you.  May God bless you in this time of sorrow.

So sorry for you, Mrs. Sothron and all his family and loved ones.  You guys are in all of our thoughts here.

Thank you.

No, he has had several health issues starting in the late 90's with Primary Biliary cirrhosis which is a rare auto immune condition that attacks the liver. He hardly ever drank outside of a beer after work or at a game so that was a shock. He had to have a liver transplant in 2004. He has prostate cancer about twelve years ago and then stomach cancer in I believe 2019. 

That is what ultimately killed him, sadly. They could not do radiation or chemo because of his transplant and he was so weak when the stomach cancer came back he just had nothing left to fight with. He was about six feet tall and only weighed 120 pounds at the end. He simply could not eat or hold anything down the last few months from it. f*** cancer. 

He fought like a warrior through everything and never complained about it. He was there for my mother in law and our family all the way through his life. They were married for sixty years. It would have been sixty one this May.  He was a retired PE teacher and coach and he never stopped coaching. I know there's jokes about hating your in laws but God blessed me with a wonderful mother in law and father in law. I truly gained a second family with Mrs. Sothron. 

I will miss that man. He wasn't the most talkative person but when he spoke it meant something. He shows his love through his actions and not so much the words. I know he loved his family dearly. Heaven gained a good man today.

Memory eternal, Donnie.

Condolences to you and your family Sothron. That sounds like it's been a rough time for him - he's in a better place now. 

Don't worry about the squawk - we will be here for you. Spend this time with your family.

Thanks for sharing all that. Death sucks. Separation sucks. Super close friend lost his brother-in-law about a week ago. Co-worker's 40 yr-old healthy son suffered a pulmonary aspiration episode (choking on own vomit) over the holidays, and she just returned to work today after seeing him buried. And of course, we're all so zoned-in on Damar Hamlin's situation. It all gets so real. Not to take a too-religious turn here, but as I get older and closer to that event myself, I'm more taken by how significant it is to think of someone flesh and blood actually overcoming death... what an incredible thing that is, and if true, how significant it is to every single one of us.

Please also keep Squawker @kg01 in your prayers as he is also dealing with a death in his family.

Sothron. My condolences. I know how it feels. I lost my mother July of last year. Focus on the good times and good memories, and your family is in our prayers.
