My condolences. It sounds like you had a good relationship.

Thank you. We had our ups and downs, but overall, it was really good. We were way too much alike in some ways, and diametrically opposed in others, which made for interesting times. He was a great Dad.

Condolence's from my way, it sounds like he was a great man.

Consider yourself lucky to have had someone around to show you what a man is.

Thanks! He gave me a good example of what to do (and not to do) in raising my sons and daughter. Not that I will ever be father of the year...lol

Just nice to have a path to follow. To confirm what you have, and are dealing with. Just to be able to look back at how your Father dealt with the same situations you're encountering.

If that makes sense.

May you find some peace and contentment.

It does indeed make sense. I have peace knowing that he is in a better place, and contentment knowing that I am living according to how I was raised. Thanks for your insight!

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
You are fortunate to have all those good memories.
