My mom called this afternoon. My uncle passed at about 4pm, his time. The funeral's going to be Friday morning in Philly (partly cloudy, mid-30s is the forecast). I'll figure out my travel plans later tonight, but my guess is that I'll catch an afternoon flight on Thursday and stay through Sunday. Ironically, I'll get to watch the Eagles playoff game in Philly with my cousins.
My uncle and my dad knew each other for 60+ years and were best men at each other's weddings. My family has a bad habit of introducing future couples at such events. I don't believe in heaven or hell, but I know that he's no longer in pain.
