Now that’s how a Wisconsinite goes out! What a badass.

I'm a few days late, but I'll hoist one while I read it again.

Sorry for your loss. Looks like he went out on his own terms. That’s important. I lost my father a week last Monday.

That is a man who has lived a great life and is ready to pass on. I only hope that someday I will be this prepared.

His last words: Who are these pansies drinking from cups?

There was an episode of Scrubs that featured this plotline. It was just as bittersweet and heartbreaking.

I don't have sons, but I hope my family's ready for hookers and blow.

New job in palliative care...having one last drink with terminally ill.

It’s often cookies or other comfort foods. Rarely a beer, the pts know we are working. But I’ve had more than a couple after a rough day.

He died well; surrounded by his loving wife and progeny, a life well led indeed!

Good on the hospital staff for allowing it.

The physician actually hand wrote Rx labels for each beer. So it could pass as a prescription.

Well, it's too bad they had Bud Light instead.

It's his last beer ever and you can't pick something better than bud lite?

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

I know it's hard to believe, but some people actually like Bud Lite. I mean, not me, but...some people must...math....economics...yea.

Be happy for them. It was the way he wanted to go.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Exactly. He died happy. He spent time with his family and if you gotta go, do it with good memories.

No, My dad died alone and I'll never forgive myself.

I don't think your dad would want you to do that to yourself.

Sad about the bud lite. Prolly dads go to, but still...at least Pabst? Spotted cow?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's all I ever want to do. My youngest keeps saying 'but daddy, I'm 7'. Seriously though. I think that is awesome. Glad he got his wish.
