Condolences to you and your family.
Dear Scott, I’m so sorry for your loss. Seeing his history, there’s a high probability he and my dad knew each other in high school. Small world.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
BTTT
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your father sounds like a very good man. Reading over his diary, I recognized two places where my late husband was stationed when he was in Vietnam. Once again, sorry for your loss and may the Lord comfort you and your family at this time.
I’m so sorry. Prayers for family and friends. God bless.
Sorry to hear your dad has taken his final flight. He will truly be missed. Deepest Condolences.
“...Not looking back to ask the reason why
Our plane is set along this course,
Gladly we shall go, unsullied by remorse;
Nor blaming now the mundane evils of the past
Or that idolatry which planned our flight; we die
To live enthroned forever with the fold
That dwells immortal in the Halls of great Valhalla.
Long-dormant Viking hearts awake at last -
We take in hands as bold as those of old
The helm of our own destiny; and for our vast
Ocean of adventure, instead of waves, the boundless sky.
Once more, inviolate, erect and proud
As those who never down to tyranny have bowed.
On wings of valour. Woden-borne, we fly. “
(Wings of Valour - Anon)
I am sorry.
That’s a tough road to walk.
So sorry for your loss.
May you and your mother find consolation in the sure knowledge that his was a life well lived.
Sorry for your loss my friend.
What a lot of honorable acomplishments he filled his life with.
Condolences to you on your loss.
Your dad was a great man. worthy of veneration.
It sounds like he probably was inspired by the Great Generation, those who served in WWII.
Thank you for his Vietnam diary link.
My condolences to your family.
Condolences, good guy.
More a lurker here anymore, but he was fine and that life of his, definitely a well lived one.
Glad your parents had you and that you’re here.
So sorry for your terrible loss.
Our hope is in the Lord that
one day we will all be reunited
in heaven where every tear will be
wiped away and there will be
no more suffering.
God Bless you and your entire family.
