I won't be the next Hilton Millionaire

Class act.

Being a great tournament player is one thing, but being a greater human person is even better. All the best to your Dad.

 

Class act is right!

Ken I hate to hear about your father. I will pray for him to have a speedy recovery.

I am sorry that you and your brother will miss the Hilton this weekend, but when something like this happens you realize no matter the size of the tournament that they are just games and your family is the biggest prize any of us can ever have.

God bless, my prayers are with you and your family.

Please call me if there is anything I can do for you.

 

Our Prayers are with you

Perspective

Life has a funny way of reminding us sometimes that there are much more important things than the order in which little colored pieces of cardboard land on a table. All the best to you & your family --

My heart goes out to you and your family. Family always comes first. I had the opportunity to quaifiy in March with your brother and I will keep your family in my thoughts. Best wishes on a speedy recovery for your father.

 

You are even wiser than I thought

Ken,

Family always comes first. Top priority. Maybe it's the old Italian way instilled in me through my up bringing.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and happiness for your father, you, your brother and all of your family.

 

Ken,

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and Dad. Stay postive.

A Million Prayers

Yes, we all need to remember the important things.

How true.

Early last year I lost a friend I never met other than here online. I once passed within 40 miles of his home on a way to a tourney thinking I would need to arrange to stop by and meet him face to face on my next trip. He passed away the next month and this left me with a little different perspective on life. A missed opportunity that I would not let happen again.

Then last fall I had experienced the untimely death of my 15 year old son. I felt blessed that I had the time we spent together and that we always made the most of it. It is sometimes hard to rationalize why things happen and turn out the way that they do, and I am sure I will never have all the answers that I would like.

I am also fortunate to have a wonderful wife and two daughters. Life's experiences have taught me to never take them or anything for granted and to most importantly remember what's really important in life.

Ken, God Speed to your father and family during your times of need. Wishing you (and everyone) all the best during your life's journey.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad's health problem. Y'all will be in our thoughts. You are doing the right thing. Family is always what you have to take care of first. Keep a positive attitude.

 

Just wanted to say I hope everything goes well with your dad. I know how difficult it is to see someone you love suffer. Although this is not about me, I recently lost my dad to cancer, and it was the hardest thing I've had to deal with up to this point in my life. But I don't regret putting everything aside to help my mom take care of him. His response: "You can't stop everything for me. You'll get tired of taking care of me." That never happened.

I still have images of his lifeless body on the hospital bed at 2:00 a.m. I still have images of him struggling for every breath of life each day. I still have images of a hardworking man who did any and everything he could to provide for his family. I still have images of someone who I loved with all my heart. I would've given my life to take his pain away. All I could do was make sure he knew that I loved him.

I know you're doing the same thing, and I bet your dad is a great individual, who's loved and cherished by all. So you and your family stay strong and a brighter day might be ahead before you know it.

 

Ken, you've got the right stuff

I empathize with the above (and join them in wishes for a speedy recovery); last year I lost both parents & my only remaining brother (each died a few months apart).

Your dad's positive outlook and good prognosis, plus his devoted family, are worth a lot!

May you & your family live long & prosper.

 

All the best for you and your family Ken. There are things in life that are by far more important than the possibility of making a million bucks.

 

A Speedy Recovery

Ken:

I'm sure that your Father will have a speedy recovery. He will certaiinly gain strenght from knowing that he raised his children with the right sense of values and direction.

All our thoughts and prayers will be with him.

 

Ken,

What you are doing is something you can not put a price on (as you obviously know). June and I will be praying for your dad.

 

Been there too

Ken,

As a person who underwent a triple bypass myself just two years ago, I know how frightening this can be. The toughest part will be the recovery period once he gets past the surgery. Walking those laps around the hospital hallways the day after surgery is what he will need to get back on the road to recovery quickly. Hang in there with him, I know in a few months he will feel like a completely new person.

Our prayers are with you.

Pat & Debbie
