Many of the people that I have loved the most left this time of year. No time is a good time but the cold and dark seem to make it worse. While others are celebrating, I’m remembering. My heart goes out to you and all who loved him.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s lovely that you’ve shared this with us, another kind of family. Many of us can empathize, and all of us wish you and your family peace and love. I bet your Dad had a great sense of humor and was very proud of you Lennie.
I am sorry for your loss as well. I’m sure it’s especially tough at this time of year. Focus on the positive things about his life with you and you’ll somehow get through.
I’m so sorry to learn this, Lennie. I wish you peace as soon as your heart is open to it and loving, healing energy to his sweet soul as he transitions to wherever we go when we’re done on this plane. Thank you for sharing this news. It brought a tear to my eye and I’m honored you felt you could bring that here to us. Blessings.
My condolences. I enjoyed the obit. Sounds like he had a wonderful life. Husband, father, grandfather. Navy vet in WWII. Musician. Teacher. Traveler. Part time preacher. How sad that he lost two wives and a daughter. I’m sure he’ll be missed.
I just viewed the obituary link you shared above. I was very sad to read that your sister also passed away recently. Sending you a hug from GoComics, Lennie. I’m sorry for your losses.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad, Lennie. Losing as parent is one of the hardest experiences in life, especially during the holiday season. I know this from my own experience. Peace and love.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. It is hard but he will always be with you. I still miss mine after 18-1/2 years and remember the things he taught me and the gifts he gave (in particular my flute and my love for music) as I go about my daily life. Your tribute to your Dad is wonderful and touches my heart.
So sorry for you loss. My dad was also a Mason (past master) and planning to become a Shriner when he passed away at the age of 58. I know you will miss him forever, but it does get better with time.
I’m so sorry. He was three months younger than my dad, who passed three months ago. I’m so glad I have an answering machine message (three years old now) of him singing happy birthday to me with my mom. Hugs to you and yours.
Thank you for sharing the link for your Dad’s obit. My Dad was the same age as yours but passed in 2016. Like your parents, mine were also married in 1950 with my mom passing much earlier (Parkinsons). You are lucky to know so much about your Dad’s WWII story. My Dad didn’t share much and I didn’t press. It’s my biggest regret. May your memories bring comfort and make you smile. Prayers and love to you and family at this difficult time.
I had to read back to find comics with a Dad in there. I loved your Thanksgiving prayer and when you helped him fix your car. BTW Whatever happened to the gorgeous heartbreaker that ran away to France with Muscle brains?
