Thanks, folks. In his own words - maybe about a year ago we were up at the house and dad was in his chair - the throne from which dad pronouncements might come if he wasn't watching baseball or golf - and he looks up at us (me, my wife and out four daughters (40% of his grandkids...) and says "If God takes me right now I have had a great life." Indeed he did.

I'm hurting now but only because I was used to haviong that presence for all of my near 58 years. It's a big empty space right now.
