My wife came home from work and got to spend a couple hours with him. She has to go somewhere tonight, so I sat with him and he passed about a half hour after she left.
He slept next to me every night and was waiting on the arm of the couch for me when I came home every night. He was adorable and shy and had a great personality, particular about his fur and his big fuzzy tail. He had sneezing fits because he was allergic to stuff, and he never meowed but purred loudly when petted. He really loved canned tuna and McDonalds cheeseburgers. Every morning he's get in my lap when I was putting my socks on getting ready to work, and we'd have a couple minutes for hugs and ear scritches. That was our morning routine.
I have a giant hole in my heart. I will miss him desperately.

I'm sorry for your loss George. We have had to put down several pets over the years, but one in particular, has stayed with me for all time. A little dachshund we named "Elsa".
She died 2 times at birth, lost half of one ear flap (due to circulation in the birth canal) but came through it all - she was determined to be born. We had her for the better part of 12 years. I held her as she took her last breath. To this day (some 4 years later) I still think of her fondly every day.
Hang in there....it does get a little better..
