Although he was never quite able to get up the nerve to post here, he avidly read and enjoyed all of your posts daily.

Prayers for you and your family for your loss.

And, I am sure we lost out too, because he never posted here, but I hope if he ran across a post or two of mine, he was able to get a chuckle out of them....

My condolences. God bless your father-in-law.

Someone should warn the dead - a Marine is coming to join them.

Semper Fi and Godspeed.

Robert has gone home, to share eternal life, with other Americans that loved and served their country. A man among men, he will be warmly welcomed.

My condolences to your family.

May God grant you & your family peace, and I pray that your father new he was a hero of America and represented all that is right with this country, Honor, Duty, Integrity. Love of God & country. One does not spend 41 years in service for self. I would also like to say that your whole family deserves respect for without the families support warriors like your father could not do what he has accomplished.

Semper Fi!

You're makin' me weep, APD. May your departed father-in-law rest in Peace and awaken in Glory. Thank you for sharing his passing with us.

Semper Fi. My heart is heavy. We should all take a walk through Arlington National Cemetery. It fills you with a love for countrymen like no other place. A fitting resting spot for a giant; such a man was your father. Almighty God have mercy on him. As I am sure God WILL have mercy on him I should ask also that He has mercy on us. The void left by your father should NEVER be filled. We should gaze upon it in awe as a reminder of what WE should strive to become.
