In addition to being a WWII vet, he was a retired LEO. Great stepfather. My 95 yo mom's a wreck.... They were married almost 50 years.This message has been edited. Last edited by: bald1,

Condolences to you, your mother and the rest of your family on the passing of a great man. May he rest in peace knowing he has done the Lord's work.

My condolences to you and your family. Your stepfather was one of a truly remarkable generation in this country, and there are only a few left. I know he'll be well received in God's kindom. My prayers for your mom--after so long married she will feel incredible separation. My prayers for you and the rest of the family, too--but keep your mom close.
