(2 posts)Hi everyone,
It's amazing to come here and be reminded just how many people loved and knew my dad. I know this community was a big part of his life and he really enjoyed talking with all of you. As far as we know he had a severe adverse reaction (angioedema) to his blood pressure medication. This is reported as happening in approximately 0.13% of people who take Lisinopril but in most cases is easily treatable under emergency medical care. My dad didn't deserve this and his light went out far too soon. Those of you who know him may also remember he lost his mom and brother both within the last 2 years. While this is a tough time for our family I am grateful to have had such an amazing dad in my life for 32 years. My fervent hope is that all the good folks here and my brother and Ms. D and I will keep the memories alive and carry on his tradition of questioning authority and sticking up for the little guy. He has instilled right and wrong in us and encouraged us to be independent thinkers and that is the greatest gift anyone could give their kids.
Again, thank you for all the kind words. Keep hope alive!
Peace and love
