Sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the world without my dad. When I lost my FIL recently it really was nice to have the board here, just saying what he was like really helped me.

Best wishes to your family

Oh so sorry to hear this. Losing your Dad is tough - mine is a Korean war vet and I hope will be with us for some time yet but I know the time will come too soon, that I too will have to say goodby to my Dad.

It is inevitable but nonetheless difficult.

God Bless your Dad and your whole family.

Now two of my friends have lost their fathers in the last week....

Sorry for the loss of your father... our family is expecting the passing of my wife's grandfather soon too, he's went in the hospital yesterday on Hospice. Another WWII Vet that was on Normandy.

David,

You have my deepest sympathies on the passing of a great American, your father.

As you know, I lost my father just 4 months ago. He was also a WWII vet and he too is sorely missed.

Remember the good times you had, and be glad he was around as long as he was so that you had a chance to truly get to know him.

You and your family are in my prayers.

Hang tough friend.

My Prayers tonight will include you and your Family.
When we Pass On, we'll be able to see both our Fathers. I lost mine in '66 when I was 8 years old, murdered in a Robbery. I know it's tough now, but try to think of and Cherish the Good Times you were able to Share while he was with you.

:animatedsalute: His hitch is over, time to sound taps. It's never easy but you had him for a good long time and that's more than a lot of us can say. Be happy for him, he is at one huge reunion right now.

One of the toughest things I have ever done was to say goodbye to my Dad...

My thoughts are with you.

I will never forget the day my brother called me at work to say my father had just died. He was 91 and had suffered from Alzheimers for a few years. I didn't know what to do so I stayed at work for about an hour before it became clear I had to go home.

You will get through this in time - sooner than you think.

I am sorry for your loss..I lost my mother 2 years ago myself... but maybe this from the Good Book will help. John 6:39-40
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother, my sisters and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place on Asgard in the halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

I am so sorry for your loss David. My mother is having heart problems and I am already in bad ways about that, hearing this reminds me all the more of what is inevitable in life.

Stay strong man, I'm sure you have and always will make your father proud.

I'm sorry you lost your dad we all will have to face this fact one day we all have the fears in the back of our minds... At the moment of death all we can do is think of the best times we spend with our loved ones the smiles the laugh's the story's they would tell us... The hugs the joys the hand shakes an the love... He is gone but will never be forgotten .

Being acquainted with him on the Limey board, Swampy asked that I convey to you his most sincere condolences for the loss of your father. Despite the troubles that you two have had, having lost his own step-father and numerous other relatives recently, he feels your pain.

Our family viewed my fathers for the last time today. He looked very peaceful and because they did not embalm him he was the same shape as I saw him 3 days before at my home eating shish-ka-bobs.

Family is in good spirits and my mother is doing quite well. Also my mother decided to keep all 100% of my dads ashes in the box to be buried at Fort Sam Houston on Friday afternoon. There was going to be a partial burial but mom changed her mind for the good.

The USMC will be there, with some being flown in due to him being a WWII vet and the special unit he was in. He will be buried with full military honors.

I am proud to say the family is doing well at this point.
