Sounds like your Dad was a fine and thoughtful man.
My Grandson has told me a couple of times that what I said stuck with him.
He was out hunting deer a couple years ago, and a large bobcat came out of the brush.
He said “Pop-Pop I scoped him, and then I thought oh crap Pop-Pop is gonna make me eat him.” He said it would have been like eating their housecat, Yyeech!
I laughed for an hour! :)
Some things are remembered for a lifetime and passed down to the next generation.
GOOD JOB Pop-Pop
