What an amazing legacy you come from. I would love to sit and listen to stories of your father’s life. The greatest generation had much to pass on to those of us that live in the comfortable times their sacrifices provided. With each passing we lose that opportunity.

If anyone reading this has a parent/grandparent that lived through WW2 or Vietnam Nam, go visit them. Don’t waste a moment. You have two ears and one mouth. You should listen twice as much as you speak. You won’t regret it.

I am so very sorry for your loss, I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers 🙏

Thank you for sharing your photos, what an incredible life he must have lived! Sharing his stories and photos will keep him alive in your memories, I'd love to hear more about him if you ever feel like sharing more.
It must be a poor life that achieves freedom from fear.

Super sorry to hear man.

98 is a great run. Just think of all the changes and amazing things he saw in his lifetime.

Sorry for your loss.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
