My dad has passed away
6/8/25 | Hoagy62

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.

Iโ€™m glad he lived long enough to see Trump back in office.

I too know the pain of losing one’s father. Over time, the grief becomes less sharp, but the good memories and gratitude endure undiminished.

Sorry for the loss of you father - I can relate. May the resurrection hope comfort you plus the knowledge that he had you as an obviously caring son.

My condolences!

If I may make a gentle suggestion: Try writing a lengthy and detailed obituary (not necessarily for Free Republic - not necessarily for publication at all). You may find it cathartic.

Regards,

My Condolences and Prayers for You and The Family.

Your description of Robert reminds Me of My Father although Mine was starting to check out the newer Technology.

I know how much it hurts, been through this many years ago. I had to keep reminding myself that He’s no longer in pain and in a much better place than We are.

I’m the baby of 3 was the one that dealt with most of the aftermath and most of the arrangements.

Hang in there and remember that He’s no longer in pain and in a much better place than We are.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Prayers up for your precious dad. I lost mine at about the same age just a couple of years ago.
