Steve,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of your father. My Mom is 95 and a WW2 Army Nurse. There are few left from those days and they had amazing strengths and endurance. I'm sure he was a great Dad and his death will leave a big deficit in your family. I also know he has brought wonderful memories to all. God Bless your family. Kristena Kobelia.
