Condolences from Iowa. May the good Lord watch over all and give you peace. He was a great man who raised his family well. Remember the good times.

Steve, thanks for telling us about your father. Indeed, he does sound like a fine man and a wonderful father. I am sorry to learn that you have lost him, and especially sad for your mother. 60 years of marriage is a long haul - it must have been good She and you are in my prayers today. Travel safely.

I'm truly sorry to hear that, Steve.
My father passed in '86.
It takes a while before anything feels normal again,...but it will. Mom passed in 71 & dad in 74...Every family member that passes will take a little bit of you with them...some more than others...Losing a father takes a huge chunk. But you are their legacy...I'm sure he was quite proud of you...

So sorry to hear about this, Steve.
No matter how peaceful the death, it's always hard on those who loved their fathers.
You'll get easier in your mind, but you'll always miss him.

Your father is a man to be admired, like many of his generation and all too few today. When a man passes, all that's left is his memory and your post proves that he did get it right.
Condolences to you and your family. Ken

so sorry for your loss Steve, your mother will definitely be in my prayers for strength and comfort, along with the rest of your family that loved him.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I'm so very sorry to hear this news, friend Stephen. Reading your words just now brought tears. Your love, respect and eternal gratitude show through. It sounds like he was the kind of man that other men would be damned proud and honored to call friend.
His legacy and spirit will live on in you, and your children.
Godspeed to you and prayers for your mom, and family.
