Your Dad was one of the, "Gentleman Generation," and we are losing them at a rapid pace. Our Dad's were the men that built the foundation of what we stand on today.
In this difficult time, please know that there are so many people that feel your loss and are sending kind thoughts and soft prayers.

Dear Laura: I truly share in your loss. Your Dad was a great guy and he reminded me of my own Dad. As my Dad, your Dad has instilled in you virtues that I see in you to be good and which you are instilling in your children. From my heart to your heart, my condolences and prayers for the blessings and peace to come that you know your Dad will always live within you. Jane

Jim and Family,
I saw Mary in December and she mentioned that your Dad was not well. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. We lost my Mom a few years ago, so I understand what you're going through. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you in the coming days and months.
