My dad, Walter Schwartz, passed away last week. It's been a rough go for these last 8 months, but I wouldn't trade the 40+ years before that for anything. He was an awesome dad and grandpa and uncle and friend. He worked for 50 years at Merrill Lynch as a financial advisor, and with my mom built a huge community in Cleveland and beyond. I learned so much from him, directly and indirectly. My wife tied together that my love for advising (loosely defined) other startups wasn't about the startups, but about the *people*, and that in this regard I'm just like him. My dad always had time for non-clients, just wanting to help people think about their and their families' financial futures. I'll bet that most of the people he gave meaningful advice to never paid him a cent. He loved his work, his family and his community. I'm glad I had such an incredible mentor, father and friend.

So, so sorry to hear this. I feel I hear of a parent passing every week from so many of my friends in the same age bracket as me. Sorry to hear it.
So sorry to hear about losing your dad. Sounds like he was an amazing man with plenty of happy memories for you, your family and the many lives he touched. Thoughts are with your family.
