M. Dan Fugate passes away

Posted on September 12, 2005

Crazy stuff going on here. And you can take that very literal right now.

Somber news. Grandpa Dan and Grandma Shirley passed away this past week. I am not even going to get into any of the details right now. When I feel I can explain what happened with any certainty… I will.

As Sylvia Penrod so correctly stated, “It would not be our family if it were ever normal.”. Is that the truth or what?

I just returned from Kentucky tonight. Ang, Dan and I went down to retrieve some family heirlooms and some of Grandpa’s wood creations. It was stressful, and could possibly be my last trip to Danville ever. It was a bad feeling all around.

Memorial service for the Fugate’s will be in Fairbury on Friday. Hard to say what all will be done. I don’t even know if we are having a visitation at this point!

Don and other family members will be making their way to Illinois over the next week.

More news and info as I have it.
