To have his son do a write up like this, there is no doubt that his life was a meaningful one. And the apple never falls far from the tree.
God bless. Lost my dad on Thanksgiving in 2015.

Alzheimer's is a horrible disease. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Both of my parents are gone, but I was fortunate that both of them were mentally sound to the end.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Another of the greatest generation, gone to his reward.
I know you’re proud of his service and who he was as a man.
Seems memories and relationships are all we ultimately end up with, all else is perishable.
May the Peace of the Lord be your comfort and solace.

Condolences from my family to yours. We lost my dad in 2007. He was 6 days away from his 86th birthday. He was a Pilot in the Eighth Air Force in England and Belgium in WWII.
He had spells of dementia but not Alzheimers. Medication would bring his mind back. He had Parkinsons. He was doing ok with it until he fell down on the driveway and broke his hip. That weakened him and caused him to aspirate his food. That caused pneumonia. They put him in the nursing home and put a feeding tube in him. He was doing ok until his Medicare ran out and we had to bring him home. Then the doctor took the feeding tube out. It didn't take a day for pneumonia to set in and he lasted two weeks. It sucks to see your parents go down like that.
Anyway, God Bless your dad and comfort your family. No matter how much you think you're prepared to lose them, you're never ready for that day. If you love your parents as much as it appears you do and I do, It sucks.
What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!

Sorry for your loss brother my dad was an army vet in Korea. Still harvesting whitetails at 88. I've hunted with him pretty near every year since I was ballast in the canoe at about 8 years old. My mom has dementia in a home and has behavior problems and difficulty accepting current circumstances.
Praying for y'all

I'm sorry for your loss. I can relate. Today is my Dad's funeral. Dad was 75 and had been in failing health for a long time. He was loved and he will be missed. He taught me to love the Lord and love my family and hunt and fish. He wasn't perfect but he was a great guy. See you again someday, Dad.
