I have been asked to let the readers of Israellycool know that, after his long battle with cancer, Dave’s father passed away on July 4th.
Dave is en route to Australia to attend the funeral and sit shiva with his mom and sister.

Dave,
After losing my mom to something similar all one can say is that “this too shall pass” and to hold on to the memories, its the memories we carry with us every day.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss, Dave. I lost my father to cancer a little over three years ago, and it is not an easy thing to accept. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

My condolences to Dave. Although I don’t know him, I can empathize with Dave because I also lost a parent to a long illness.
I have a sense of what his father was like through a podcast Dave did with him; he sounded like a sweet, amiable man.
So I hope that Dave will accept my heartfelt sympathies. And I hope that he will eventually focus less on his loss and more on how lucky he was to have had his father in his life for so many years.
May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
I totally missed the post about the loss of your Dad zt”l.
I lost mine 25 years ago to Ca. of the pancreas.
I am so sorry. Please take care.
My condolence to your loss too. It’s good to see how meanwhile you memorate on in your blog by telling about your father’s life. (I’ll send you a special song in an extra e-mail)
Dave,
My deepest condolences. Hamakon yinechem etchem btoch shar aveli Yerushaliym vtzion.
Dave,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Through your blog it is clear that your father had a loving and dedicated son.
יהיה זכרו ברוך

I am sorry for your loss. Last year I made the journey you made (from Israel to Australia) for my father’s funeral after cancer had claimed him. It was tough and so I know a little of what you went through, and are going through. I wish I could wave a magic wand and take away the pain. May you be spared sorrow for many years to come.
B”H
HaMaqom yenahem ethchem im kol avlei Tzion viYrushalayim.
Dave,
Please accept my sincere condolences. There is nothing to relieve the pain, as I know only too well for the last twelve months, but at least I can feel what you do and share it.
יהיה זכרו ברוך
With sincere condolences for your huge loss. May God give you comfort.
Yours,
Madeline
I am so sorry to hear about your father and I send my sincere condolences to your family. I was away for 3 weeks visiting my mom in the USA and did not have access to internet, so my apologies for the belated e-mail. I have lost my father and my sister and the best advice that I can give you is to think of all of the good times that you shared and to talk about these times with your kids and your friends.
May HaShem Bless you and your family. May HaShem bring peace and tranquility to your hearts. Amen.
