To all of you who responded so quickly, so movingly: My tears are welling up, and I must say, Thank You! And that's to everyone on this thread, of course.

I can so relate to you. I just lost my dad two weeks ago. WWII Veteran. Born 1918 also. He served in Cairo during the war--airborne engineer. Had lots of stories to tell at the end, before that he didn't say much about the war. He did say that any simpleton could tell you how they built the pyramids. No big mystery.
He was a wonderful Christian Father and was honored by hundreds at his visitation and funeral.
I'm glad that you have great memories as I have.

Eternal rest grant onto him O, Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed
by the mercy of God rest in peace
I pray O Lord, that this day may be his birthday in Heaven.
In Christ,
Trebics
