Art; sorry to hear about your Dad's passing
Art, I heard the sad news about the passing of your Dad. I'm awfully sorry to hear this and my prayers are with you and your family. I didn't know your Dad, but his Death Notice provided a fine overview on his life. He sounded like a great man who loved his family and his country. You've loyally been by your Dad's side and that alone says a lot about you, Art, as a person. You're a good man and I wish you the best at this time.

I am sorry for your loss
Art, I just got the sad news yesterday from Mike Hagan of your dad's passing. I have a dad who's 90 years old, and I try to talk to him every day and savor the time that I have left with him. I recall that you and your dad were very close. I seem to recall that he was a marine and worked in the steel industry most of his life... a true salt of the earth kind of guy. You can rest knowing that he's in a better place. Hang in there.
Sincerely,
Slade

You can turn your back on tomorrow, and live in yesterday,

You can shed tears, that he is gone,
or you can smile, because he has Lived.
