This is a hard update to write…
Dad is not doing well. His health has deteriorated in the past week to the point where doctors are unable to take him to surgery. And there continue to be complications with his major organs, including the heart, lungs, kidneys and, most recently, his liver. His heart stopped this morning for 30 seconds.
We are so tremendously saddened by this. Dad is always our biggest fan and always there for us. Even in the most difficult times, dad is the person we know will pick up the phone and tell us that everything will be okay. It is hard to imagine not having him around. Dad has given us so much in life. If only he can hear how thankful we are for him being our father. Dad… we love you and miss you.
We would like to invite his friends to visit as soon as possible. Dad loves people, and loves his friends, so it would mean much to him. Please email us at ccmacdiarmid AT yahoo DOT com and we will send you our contact info. Colin and I will both be at his side.
Love to Everyone,
Ian and Colin
Our thought are with you guys,our prays to your way and now we will keep them coming to you every day. He is a figther.
Love to all Mervi
My heart hurts for your family right now. I will keep praying and sending you guys all the positive thoughts I have in me. He is a lucky man to have such two great sons.
Our thouughts and prayers will continue for all of you. We were all saddened after our last visit on Monday. Your Dad looked so much better than our first visit but obviously looks do not tell the whole story. We hope with all our hearts that he improves very soon. Hang in there guys…
We will continue to keep you all in our prayers! We are truly sorry to read this news. We will be praying for a miracle! Sending love to you all!

Colin & Ian,
Don’t even give up. Colin Sr. is as strong as an Ox and he has a great deal to live for, especially now that he knows you two are there pulling for him. We are ALL praying hard for him and our prayers are that he get stronger and better every day. This is going to be just a setback, I pray. God, the Almighty Father, knows what is best for Colin, Sr. and we are praying for HIS will in Colin’s life. I do NOT believe God would bring him this far only to let him go now. Be strong, keep praying and think positive thoughts!!!!!
Definitely agree!!
Little Colin & Big E,

You’re Dad was always larger than life to me. So many memories and so many laughs.
I’ll be holding you all close in my heart. Many prayers to you all.

Uncle Craig

My heart is saddened to learn of this latest update. Sending up prayer for your father and each of your dear hearts and surrounding you with love during this difficult time. So wish there were more I could do, other than pray.
I’m sorry to hear your news. I’ve been reading each of your updates and am so impressed at how well your dad has done, and how dedicated you two have been. He’s very lucky to have you by his side. I hope and pray things get better for you all.
