Justin Spencer Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Your father sounds like a great man, I felt as if I was reading about my grandfather. They really are the greatest generation! I'm happy for you that you had so many great years with your father. My thoughts are with you and your family in this difficult time.

jdmidwest Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Sorry to hear about your loss. Looks like he lived a fine life and passed along great things by raising his kids well. I am sure his life was full of great rewards by doing so. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Njardar Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Sounds like the type of life to celebrate. Don't take me wrong, your loss should be mourned, but the contributions your fathers life made to the lives of others is to be celebrated. Every memory that causes a smile IS a celebration. Charlie

Ham Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I'm sorry for your loss. He sounds like a fine man and that you had a wonderful relationship with him. It is the natural order of things, but I hate that we soon to have lost all of our greatest generation. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
