| What a nice tribute to your Pop. You can sort of tell how good a dad he was by how much his youngest of 5 loved him. |

Legalize the Constitution
| Hope he was well enough to make one last Spring Training this past March. Sounds like I would like him.

He was not able to go for the last 4 Years. We had a good 15 years run of Spring Training before he turned 90.

| Thank you for sharing the short story of your father. He sounds like one awesome guy. My wife said she is very grateful for your fathers contribution to the Korean War. She wouldn’t be here next to me, if it were not for brave men like him. Thank him for his service.

| No update yet today for my dad. The bottom picture is the weapon my dad was given in the Korean War. It was a recoilless rifle.

| My Dad passed away today. His suffering has ended. He was always a happy man sitting in the stands with his kettle corn. Love you Dad…

Objectively Reasonable
| My thoughts are with you and your family. Your dad's life story-- even from an outsider's perspective-- is positively awe-inspiring. |
