Keely and I decided to take the party to him and went over on Saturday, the 21st, where we found Dad back in the hospital. We stayed the day, celebrated my birthday (the 21st) and Mom's birthday and their 51st wedding anniversary (the 23rd.)

Mom called me at work on Monday, January 23rd, and said Dad wasn't doing well. I came over and visited for a while. When I left, Dad was comfortable, he was dozing and his longtime friend, Bob Grijalva, was with him.

Mom got the call at about 5:20 on Tuesday morning.
