Today my friend and mentor, Fr. Dan Isidro, passed away. I found out via social media.
Fr. Dan was my thesis adviser in college. We may have bumped heads at times but he was always open and willing to guide me, and put up with me and my quirks. He helped me on this path I am now, in more ways than one.
He was sick with, I believe, COPD. So to be honest, and at the risk of sounding cliche, maybe this was for the better. He won't be dealing with health issues and will finally be able to rest and join God in heaven.
Rest in Peace, Fr. Dan. Thank you for everything. You may be gone but you are not forgotten.
Out.
