Sorry to hear this, but he sounds like a great man.
He will be in your hearts forever.

Condolences.. He lived one hell of a life, you wrote one hell of eulogy for your pops..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

They sure don't make many men like that anymore. He embodied the attitude of " Don't give up; don't back down; and never give an inch".
That was a terrific eulogy.

Idaho Shooter,
Condolences on the loss of your father. Sounds like it was a blessing, too. It is tough having to watch a loved one suffer, especially a best friend like your father.
I lost my mother to cancer almost 13 years ago at 69, way before her time. I still think of her daily. My father is starting to fail now with overall fragility and neuropathy. He is still fairly sharp mentally but hates being housebound. It's getting harder for him to find things worth living for which is painful to watch. I suspect he holds on mostly for his kids and grandkids. I dread the thought of not having him around in my life.
Life marches on. Be thankful for the good memories and the fine example of a tough life well lived from what you have described.

Plain to see your Dad's legacy lives on in you and yours.
Wonderful Homage you paid.
Rejoice and live in the good memories.

Condolences on the loss of your dad...
and thanks for sharing the excellent eulogy you posted about his life..
a loss of a man like him, is a loss to the nation... because they sure don't make them like that anymore...
May he be with the Lord and those love ones that passed before he did...
may the Good Lord, bless and be with your family at this difficult time...

Bummer.
Sorry for your loss. I lost mine a while back. It's a hole in your life that never quite heals.

Sorry for your loss!
He sounds like a great guy
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
