Dad,

My sadness is not merely that you have departed but that I wish I knew that you know how much I love you and will miss you. Thank you for being my father. Thank you for your service to this country. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your friends as they have been a tremendous source of comfort. Thank you for being my pilot. Please know that your memory will be sanctified during moments of solitude and when remembering you in the midst of friends and family.

A heavy heart salutes you Colonel.

Love,
Your son
