I received a call from my mom over the weekend that he had passed away. He has had a heart condition for the past 8 years, so he was very fortunate to live as long as he did.
As many of you know, I was not at all close to my father, and he did not see me get married, had no idea I graduated with my Bachelor's or Masters Degree, and had no idea I was living overseas.
I will not be flying home because there won't be a funeral, and my sister is in Pittsburgh helping with the logistics. He did not have a will, and we are acting based on what his girlfriend said he wanted.
Here's the obit (no clue who wrote it, it does not sound like my dad at all).
