My Father Died of Pneumonia before Christmas he was 64 I went up to see him a week before and gave him a kiss on the cheek If I had an ear infection could that have killed him He was on immune sup?

Your father was on some sort of immunosupressive therapy apparently. Most (around 90%) of ear infections are viral. A quick peck on the cheek is highly unlikely to have caused a terminal pneumonia in your father. Every day each of us is exposed to countless millions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and cold and, unfortunately, callous answers. Is it within the realm of scientific possibility? Yes. Is it your fault your father died? No. In fact given the time course you give of "a week" and the incubation periods of these types of infection I would actually revise the answer I just gave to you to less than one chance in a billion. I am so sorry your father died and hope you are slowly healing.
