I'll second. You are a fortunate man.

Sorry to hear about your father aap. It sounds like he was a real stand-up type...someone whom we all aspire to be "when we grow up". Thanks for sharing this with us and may your dear dad rest in peace.

Outstanding man. My sympathies to you and your family. Damned good to be proud of your old man, isn't it?

High school coach in 74 overseeing our machine shop class in 1974, who also coached my dad in '54 (American) football, got pissed off at me for farting around. He said "Your Dad is twice the man you will ever be". Although I took a well deserved hit, I will never forget that about my Dad and the impression he made on other folks.

It's cool to have/have had a good Dad.

[glewis80SC]

Sounds like he was a great man. I know how you are feeling my Father passed away two weeks ago.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

[billybek]

Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.
To say he sounded like an interesting guy would be an understatement.

[RANDY P]

Sorry to see this.

[Por_sha911]

Condolesces to you and the family and prayers that you will find comfort through your faith. Dwell on the great times, the humorous stories, the special memories.

[72doug2,2S]

Sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers sent.

The members of the body aren't all heads, feet, or arms. The gifts aren't handed out that way. Your Dad was a model of decency who cared deeply for those who needed care the most. Where many would have turned to their own selfish pursuits, he was called to fight the good fight. I believe his work was proof of a genuine faith in Christ.

Blessings to you.

Sorry for your loss. R.I.P

Sorry for you, man. 76 isn't young but isn't that old either. Sounded like a great guy and after your retelling I wish I met him. My dad's 72 and has that same innate humility and effortless decency. The rest of us have to think about it and work on it.
The true Christians are like your dad- their actions speak louder than anything they would ever say.

Sorry for your loss, Your father sounds like he was a great man.
