sliegz. my father said he was vigilant about getting vaccinated and he became vaccinated. at first it was frustration. he wanted to go home. he wanted to be in his own bed. my dad, despite being 78 was a busy person. i think that frustration eventually became desperation. he knew he was sick. he knew he was living with a life-threatening condition and he wasn t able to get the care that he needed. julia, what was your dad like? my dad was the epitome of a good neighbor. he did things for people that you just had to ask him to do something, and he would do it. kind of the classic story i have of him is when i was in grad school i called home, and the line was busy for several hours, and once i finally got him on the phone i said, you know, dad,
indebt victim, his family says of the coronavirus pandemic. joining me now are two of dale s kid, anthony weeks and julia semansky. welcome. i am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your father. how are you guys doing? anthony, i ll start with you. it s been a hard time. around the holidays we acutely felt the absence of our father, and i think that we re lucky to have each other, and i think we did get together for the holidays to support each other, but it s definitely been a hard time, and i think that when we think of what might have been, i think that also makes it harder because under any circumstances it s hard to say good-bye to a lovered one, but this has been especially hard. julia? how are you doing?
who was on the phone so long? and he said well, haven t you heard about that baby jessica? i ve been on the phone with firemen in texas and we ve been talking about how to get that little girl out of the well, and get her some food while she s down there. and that s just who he was. he reached out to help people. he was a good neighbor. he cared about people, yet he was a very humble, humble man. anthony, julia, your dad sounds like an amazing, amazing man. i am so incredibly sorry for your loss. we are thankful that you are sharing your message with us and his story today. happy new year s to you both. thank you. thank you. coming up next, everybody. we are following a severe weather outbreak across the south and water rescues in kentucky, as well. also ahead, the mayor of boulder, colorado, joining me
