    I know you will miss him. My own Dad left this world August of 2012, he also was a veteran of the Depression and the War. They learned a lot because they had to. They were truly the Greatest Generation.:usa:

    So sorry for your loss. Sounds like he was loved and lived a long good life. Lost my dad 19 years ago, but I think of him frequently.

    All my sympathy and best wishes. Men like your father build this country-I'm afraid we won't see their likes again.

    Condolences Ironpony.

    I know you are proud of Pops and have ever right to be. You will always have the memories. Guess you are in line for a little trip now and I hope it turns out good for you and the family. But it is never easy to lose someone like this.
