Ralph Weaver Rest in peace father.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

The finest car guy in the world has left this life.

The person I respect and emulate most in life is my father, Ralph Merrill Weaver.

For 19 years he has had CLL Chronic Lymphositic Leukemia, he has had generally five year healthy spurts followed by active CLL times which required Chemo to restore his health. Dad is the quietest most private sufferer you would ever meet, often I would forget he even had a condition.

This spring CLL started to return and his specialist encologist worked to get approval for a newly approved treatment specially suited for CLL patients that have had multiple rounds of Chemo. We didn't see the improvements we hoped to see and the CLL finally took over.

Surrrounded by his family and friends Dad passed away yesterday in the most peaceful manner.

There are now huge shoes to fill in this world and my goal is to follow in his foot steps.

We were blessed to have Dad in our lives.

We spent part of today looking through family photo albums to share at his funeral, I will share a few so you can get a small sense of the wonderful family man Dad was and is.
