Andy Swienton R.I.P.

A message from Pam Barrett:

Dad passed away this morning at 9:40am est. He was in no pain and he
walked himself from this world to the next. We were all here as he
wanted. He waited for everyone to be here before he got really bad.
He crawled out of bed and wanted to stand. Andy and I held him as he
took his last steps. We all held him and set him in the wheel chair.
When we set him in the wheel chair to get him back to the bed, Andy
and Jean said he was gone and he lifted his head one last time, looked
at us and then breathed his last. He went out fighting all the way,
but now the terrible pain in is back is over. He was peaceful toward
the end. Mom is doing ok and we're all hanging in there. We're going
to have two services, one in Florida and one in Wisconsin.
