It sounds like your Dad was a happy person who had done a great deal in his life, and enjoyed his life to the fullest. I especially like that he celebrated nature and God's animals. What a great man and great memories for you. I know you all will cherish those and I pray that you will be at peace knowing that one day you'll see him again! God Bless your family.
