Mom, Bernie, Dewey and families...
My thoughts are with you during your time of grief. Dad was a very kind person with always a story to tell. That legacy will be carried on through generations. I know he will be missed dearly, but I hope you find peace in knowing he presented a heroic influence to his family and friends.

Laura, So sorry to hear your bother passed away. The love between siblings is such a great thing. You share so many things growing up, and are so proud as each one accomplishes a new and great thing. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time. It sounds as if He was an awesome grandfather, and lived a great life. May God watch over each of you as you go through these next days, weeks and months. Death is not something that we get over in a short time, but remember its not goodbye, its I will see you again soon. In Heaven time does not exist, so it will be like tomorrow when you meet him again.
