Lost my Dad Saturday morning...

I am sorry. That is tough.

Very sorry to hear of your loss.

Reading what you wrote really communicated what kind of man he was and a good life lived. Though it is used quite a lot, 'Fair winds' always seems to find me where I live. Sounds like you had a great dad. The kind you can smile about, even while you miss him.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11

...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

That was an inspiring eulogy, brother. Makes me wish I had known him. Thank you for including us in your mourning.

Sorry to read Boss. May he RIP.

Just lost mine too, but we were not remotely close.

So sorry for your loss. Be confident that you will see him again, and spend eternity together.

I am very sorry for your loss, but very happy for the life he was able to have. It sounds like he was a good man and raised a good family. It is hard not to be sad, but remember there is the flip side to keep in your memories for the rest of your life.

Prayers for your father and for you and your family.

It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest.

In knowing you, and reading this, you are a good son.

You are missed.

I would bet he had a big homecoming celebration when he arrived on the other side.
