I wish to say that although he and I disagreed over the SV position (and respectfully corresponded about that in 2014 and 2015), he was always kind to me.  We also discussed sacred music and his arrangements; he sent me his Wiki link.

Priests who have been at the bedside of other priests report that the demons become aggressive near the end, as this is their last opportunity to try to defeat a consecrated person.  So I am praying especially for his protection from attack.

When he makes it to heaven, maybe he'll send us a real pope. ;)
God bless him for his humor. I learned a lot from him.

I feel the same way as MMagdala. I never met the man but he is a very good traditional catholic priest and I am saddened that he is dying. I myself am not a sedevacantist, I rather follow Archbishop Lefebvre's Recognize and Resist position. But, Fr. Cekada was a very holy man and we need more people like him in this world. Fr. Cekada loved and was committed to Jesus Christ and the Old Faith. We need more priests like him who are true traditionalists and I pray that God relieves him from all pain when he dies. He won't be dead though in heaven, he will be alive forever in God's kingdom.

Here is what Bishop Dolan said today on twitter at 3:59 PM:

Deo Gratias. Fr Cekada is home, and resting quietly in his own room. I am praying at his bedside, and he seems to be following, although he does not speak. “Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” - Bishop Daniel Dolan

Here is a scripture for comfort:

And therfore, I say vnto you gentiles, which heare, and vnderstand, ooke for your pastor, he wil geue you the rest of eternitie:  because he is at hand, that shal come in the end of the world. Be ye readie for the rewardes of the kingdom, because perpetual ight shal shine to you for time euerlasting. - 4th Esdras 2:34-35 DRB 1610 Version Appendix

Amen.

I still have a bunch of copies of "Contra Cekadam" by Fr. Chazal for sale -- either they're going to be worth more now, or they'll be worthless ;)

I don't feel the viscereal emotional reaction I think I'm supposed to, but I'm kind of looking at this and I'm guessing it comes off as insensitive. 

And to be clear, I'm not Sede, never have been, and I'm praying for Fr. Cekada
