Physically, he may be gone but his memories and all he taught you live on! Hang in there, I'm sure he's reading this!

My condolences go to you Patrick, for your loss. It's nice to hear of the work that your dad did, and what a great man he was. I am watching my 96 year OM for his day, but he is still kicking around, even driving, which makes the kids very nervous. He was in WWII infantry in Germany.

Patrick, My thoughts and prayers have been with you through this ordeal since you made this post. I believe your Uncle was the chosen one to help your dad cross over. I spent a week with my mother in her last days. She was not going to go when I was there. I had to leave, and was replaced by my sister in law. Two days later mom left this world.

Funeral mass will be next Tuesday. I had no idea how many things must be done. Mom's in reasonably good health, we have to get her past the loss. We'll all help her.

Patrick
As an Elder in our church, I've had to minister to people that have lost loved ones. I hope you'll take comfort in what Paul wrote to the the church at Philippi: "If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far" (Phil 1:22-23)
My condolences OM.

Thanks!
The funeral is at St Paul the Apostle Church on Tuesday at 10 AM.
Here's a pic of my dad in his day, once he made 2LT and was assigned to fly the Douglas B26. (The Douglas A-26 Invader was renamed to the B-26, not to be confused with the older Martin B-26 Maurader used primarily in WWII). He must have been 20 or so in that pic.

So sorry for your loss Pat. Not an easy situation to deal with. I have lost both of my parents and after their lost, one can feel a bit of a loss themselves since they have passed. My mom made it to 90 and Dad to 84. Dad was a WWII veteran serving under Patton in the 609 Light Engineering unit building temporary bridges for troop passage all through Europe. Following the war he seldom missed any of his yearly Army reunions!
Healing will take time....

I wonder if your dad and my dad were in the same unit.... So sorry for your loss Pat. Not an easy situation to deal with. I have lost both of my parents and after their lost, one can feel a bit of a loss themselves since they have passed. My mom made it to 90 and Dad to 84.

Sorry to hear of your fathers passing Patrick. My best friend of 33 years passed away from the same illness.
It sounds like he lived a wonderful life and for that, I'm sure you and your family are grateful!
