Lost my Dad this week...
Ralph finally succumbed to the damage done by his stroke. He hung on for over five years, but he finally decided that he'd had enough, and he needed to be with Barb. He was 88 and he was a good, decent man.
Goodbye, dad. Say hi to mom for all of us. I love you and I miss you both.

Very sorry for your loss. Any man who turns a wrench on an aircraft with a wooden propeller is good people as far as I'm concerned.

Deepest condolences. I'll bet he had a good life and you were a good son, though.

I understand completely. Lost my father when I was 21 and just lost my mother(94 yo) last year. You will forever remember them and time heals somewhat....
