See Threepio Skywalker Freels passed away on Sunday,
June 1st, 2003, just two weeks shy of his eighteenth
birthday. Over the last few years,
he was in remarkably good shape,
even at his advanced age. However,
his health began
to deteriorate rapidly over the last month,
and it became apparent that he was in pain and
unable to eat or drink anymore. We helped to
ease his suffering early Sunday morning, and
buried him beside Artoo Deetoo at Kevin's
father's ranch.
He loved running in his youth, playing "chicken" with Artoo, and always enjoyed a good game of Tug-o-War. In recent years, he tended to sleep more and more and was considerably less active than in his youth. He loved the water in any form (including snow), and was the only Westie we've had who really knew how to play "fetch". He was gentle, affectionate, and a great companion to Artoo, Snootles, and us as well. We were fortunate to have had him with us for so long. Rest easy, dear friend. We will miss you.
