The pain of loss will lessen over time, but the legacy he has left certainly will not. My condolences.

It says in the Bible that “An honest father is a wonderful heritage”. I think the translation “honest” falls short, maybe there isn’t a big enough word in any language.
You have been blessed.
And I don’t believe your father is gone from you forever.
God keep you this time of sorrow.

You forgot one of his greatest accomplishments, he raised a good, loving son. Prayers to you and your Dad, you were blessed for many years for having such a fine man for a Father, that you appreciate.

God Bless y'all, Rustzipper.

Brother, my condolences. I feel your pain, my dad was admitted into hospice today. He doesn’t have long.
P Pharm, sorry for your Dad's situation too. Prayers for the best. Guys, I lost my Dad in 98 when he was 72 yo from a brain tumor. BTDT, I do understand.

That was a different breed of folks who came out of that era. Better folks for the most part I think.
Your dad was 2 years older than mine, the cancer finally took him 2 years ago on Valentine's Day.
Sorry for your loss, outstanding tribute.
