Farewell My Friend

My father passed away earlier today after a short illness.

It is not unusual that I remain active on the internet during the day of his passing because I know he took great pride in what he did for the war effort during the great conflict we call WWII.

He was always happy when I'd visit him and explain some of the respectful threads this community often posted for those of his generation.

He was especially pleased at the interest my friends here (and in particular Sailor Steve) took in his efforts during the period.

My father was never a boastful person but he always appreciated those of the post WWII generation who gave recognition to those who gave their all to ensure a safe world for the future.

I would ask that nobody mourns his loss but rather that they remember him and his kind for the sacrifices and risks they made for all of us.

This is not goodbye dad...simply till we meet again.

Love
Jimmy
