I knew this was coming but it's not a post I wanted to make. My dad, Robert, has passed away. He was 87.
He was a staunch conservative, and a very big fan and supporter of President Trump. He and President Trump shared a birthday, June 14th.
He did serve in the Air National Guard as a clerk.
He wasn't a person who got into the internet. He was one of those people that eschewed the ways of modern life. He knew about Free Republic because I told him about it. He did support what we do here.
My condolences, hoagy. That is one of the most difficult times in one’s life.
Prayers for you and your loved ones.
Please accept my sympathies. Losing parents is always difficult. He sounds like he was guided by a responsible moral compass in his life, and that was apparently passed on to you, FRiend.
I have prayed for the soul of your father, and for you and your family.
Prayers for you and family. God be with you all in all ways
My condolences to you and your family. Freepers are in my prayers every night.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know you’re wrapping hoagy62 in Your Loving, Strong Arms right now, comforting him and giving him Your Awesome Peace. His daddy has passed from death into life and his spirit soared into the Heavens to be in The Presence of Father God. No more pain, suffering or weeping. But unimaginable joy and strength!
Beloved, both my parents passed in September of 2021, each having been ill a long time, within hours of each other. The fact that they are with The Lord Jesus, absent from the body but present with The Lord as The Word tells us, gives me great comfort and joy. But the grief was naturally still there, and I still occasionally weep in missing them.
They truly ran the race and finished the course, and loved so many and helped so many and discipled so many. so much love and meekness and courage and integrity I’d never experienced in anyone else.
God Bless and keep you, hoagy62. Jesus is with you.
Been there. Prayers for you and your family. With time comes healing.
Condolences & prayers up for you during this difficult time, hoagy.
So sorry for your loss.
👊🏽
Still miss mine
Sorry to hear, prayers for you.
May he Rest In Peace.
I’m glad he had such a long life!
Still, I know it’s devastating to lose loved ones, especially those so connected to us and our past.
May you find peace and solace during this difficult time.
My pup’s birthday is June 14th - he is loyal, brave and protects us and our home, so that is an important day for us as well.
So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in the Lord.
Coming up on 4 years since my Dad passed. I feel your pain.
I am sorry for your loss. You were very lucky to have spent time with him for so many years. My dad passed when I was 13. I still remember the good times.
sorry for your loss,
