He was U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1948.

He was a radio operator and morse code operator.

He made Second Class Petty Officer because he was the fastest guy sending and receiving code in his unit while stationed in Adak Alaska.

I'll miss ya Dad.

I'm sorry, Race. I have some idea of how you feel right now. Lost my WWII vet dad back in '88. I bawled like a baby. It is a very, very hard thing. I will pray for your family.

Your father his country well - and his family. Death for Christians is but a temporary separation and when you see your father again, he won't have Alzheimers. May God comfort you and your family during this time.

Race, old buddy, I got to ask or I'll explode,

Did he ever joke that the only reason he was so fast was because it was so cold?

I've always found that the best way to grieve is to laugh through the tears.

Race, my wife & I send our prayers.

We moved to Las Vegas in order that my father-in-law can live with us. He moved from California in January of this year.

It is now two years ago that my mother-in-law passed away and I can witness on a regular basis the sorrow that my wife & father-in-law experience.

OTOH, I can also see the beauty of the healing process unfold as both father & daughter recall all the good & fun times with her. This is a very special time for both of them.

As for me, both my parents are 82 and going pretty good for that age.

In fact, next Monday, the 23rd, both my mom & dad are coming to visit us here in Las Vegas.

I plan on making it special and cherishing very second that I have with my folks.
