My Dad passed last Wednesday. He instilled a love of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and dogs. He loved his English Setters and bird hunting. He taught chemistry at West Virginia Institute of Technology for 30 years plus or minus and was beloved by his thousands of students. He was saved and I will get to see him again one day where he will have a body without pain.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong. He wrote the water quality standards for WV and loved his trout fishing. From PA to Idaho.
He will be sorely missed by family, but most of all by his wife of 60 years.
Love you Dad

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Sorry for your and the country's loss of a great man.

Condolences.
My Old Man used to say: "Glad I wasn't born any later."
Love them English Setters!
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

Love you Dad This is the toughest thing that a child can go through who is close to their parent as you no doubt were IMHO. The fact that he trusted Christ as his Savior makes a world of difference. May God's Word strengthen you and yours and the Spirit of Truth comfort you my brother. HC I Thessalonians 4:13,14,17 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1-Thessalonians-4-14/
