You all so kind, and I thank each of you. Dad did enjoy a long and full life. He and my mom retired in 1991, together, on a beautiful lake. They loved the peacefulness there. And we enjoyed times there, together, through all seasons. It is so rare that a couple lives this long to enjoy such a retirement.
Aside from his love, his generosity, he was so handsome. He aged better than anyone I've ever known, even after years of long hours and hard work. Last Monday afternoon, there was still not a single wrinkle in his 88 year old face, and his blue eyes were still bright. .... I pray to be so blessed.
Love to all, and thank you, again. <3

We were all beneficiaries of dad's great love. Family was everything to him. I've been so blessed to have his care and support all these many years. He loved the ground my son, Bj, walks on. We will miss him. 
.... I've done all I can do for now. My mom is doing good except for quiet times. I'll take a break next Friday and go to Saratoga for 10 days. Dad loved his degenerate daughter, and was proud of her. When playing golf with his buddies, he'd talk about her handicapping and horseplaying. <3 |
Sorry for your loss. YOur description of your Dad made him sound like a real good guy.
What are your dates in Saratoga?
I am headed up Tuesday. I will be at the track at least two days. Weds or Thurs and Saturday..
