OP I witnessed the same thing with my father. My grandmother would have suffered the same if she weren't fortunate enough (and I mean that) to have diabetes in her senior years and we were able to legally, once she was bed bound, to allow her to go into a diabetic coma so she didn't feel the pains from her lung cancer.
Dad smoked, but had managed to quit for the last 10 years of his life. Gran never touched a cigarette but she worked as a seamstress and we think the stamping powder had asbestos in it, thus damaging her lungs.
Follow Sins advice. But be warned... if the family is such utter ass wipes, then be prepared to get a load of shit at his funeral first. Don't throw the first "punch" but don't let them get away with bad behavior. If it all goes smoothly, then Sin's advice is perfect, go for blood and let them know what you think.
Sadly, they won't care what you have to say nor will any of your words have an affect on them. If they gave a shit, they'd have been there all along.
