Terribly sorry to hear this, Red.
Treasure the good memories and he will always be with you.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
what he said.

My Dad passed 20+ years ago, and I still miss him. It hurts less, but I think about calling him to fill him in on his grandson becoming a newly minted Marine, or to ask him something about the family. Can't.

But continue to love him and remember his vitality, the fishing trips, scaring your dates with a shotgun in high school - whatever happened and revel in them.

My sympathies.

 Mine checked out in February and while we weren't close there is still this hole I haven't quite come to terms with.  I can't imagine had we been as close as you and your dad what it must feel like.

The better he was and the more you loved him, the more it hurts.

You will find him in your memories and dreams forever.

Take care.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
