As many of you already know, for the past few years, our father, John, has been courageously and positively battling end-stage renal disease. Since April of 2011, he has been on dialysis three days per week, five hours a day. Dialysis is the one thing that keeps him alive; even though at times it seems to make him feel worse. Though dialysis is strenuous and wearing on Dad’s body, he never ceases to get up and go into the business he continues to run every day.
Since the time Dad was placed on the active transplant list, he has received several calls that a matching organ was available to him. Unfortunately, these opportunities turned out to be less than perfect matches. When all has looked hopeless for us and our family, Dad has stayed strong through it all.

John
It's great to see you doing well and on the rebound. I'm looking forward to making that fishing trip that your kidney donor Jon O., you and me have been talking about for the last few years. Congrats on the Seahawks Super Bowl victory. Take care and I hope to see you soon.
