Dad: Before I do anything in life, I always stop and ask myself, "What would Dad do?" If I am lucky enough to guess correctly, it usually works out for the best. I will always love you and please know that everything I do in life will always be done the right way. I wish you were able to know Deb, Nathan and Benjamin! Don't worry about Mom, we'll take care of her.
Your loving son.

General Carragher's loyalty and devotion to those who served under him were attributes that were rare among his contemporaries. His passing on marks an end of an era for me and also makes my world a smaller and emptier place. I will truely miss him.

Dear Dad,
I read all of the wonderful entries on this website and it made me even more honored that you are my Dad.
I loved that you cried at weddings because you were so happy that the couple in front of you would have the chance to have a life like yours. I loved that you lead me by the back of my neck when I was in trouble and when you just walked with me. I loved that I could tell you anything and you would not judge. I loved that you were warm and stern at the most...
