My condolences to you and your family Pete.

Your father sounds like a heck of a guy.

That truly was the greatest generation and there aren't many left.

Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
by United States Marines."

My condolences on your sadness for his passing.
My admiration for the greatness his life contributed to this world.
It is an honor and a joy that you are the legacy left to follow him.

Semper Fidelis

Thoughts and Prayers to you and your Family. It sounds like your Father was indeed a member of the Greatest Generation. Served his Country in a very trying time, then had a great Career (probably one that shaped your direction in choice of your own).

Take care.

In those times there was no TV only radio.
Today most people have IQ around 90.

My deepest condolences Pete. People like your father laid the foundation for generations to come. I'm happy you at least spent some time with him yesterday and he lived a rather fruitful life.

Best,
Anand.

It's bittersweet... he's in a better place which is great, but those left behind are sad he's gone.
God Bless you and your family.

Pete--So sorry to hear about your Dad. Be proud.

Losing your dad is a hard passage in life, but one that is the natural order of things. I know that the man I am today is the result of the lessons taught to me by my father. He is missed, but still lives on in those that love him. Your dad, my dad, and all those depression kids/ WWII vets were a tough breed that we won't see again.
Hope you find solace in your memories of him.

Sorry to hear that Pete. Deepest condolences to you and your family; may you find comfort and strength during this period. I'm sure your Dad must be smiling down, happy to know how much his son thinks of him.

Best regards,
Ben

My sincere condolences to you and your family, Pete.

You mentioned your father in our first email exchange, his strength of character, his fortitude and determination to remain living in a house he built himself in upstate NY (IIRC).

They don't make them like they used to applies to most people today, too. Your father is part of a special and hardy generation. It's a blessing that he had a long life and that you are so connected to him and proud of his character and accomplishments.

Peace Be With You
