My dad has an great father and a good friend
Dad was a person who made some mistakes in his life, but he was determined to make a change in his life. So he did. Dad was always worried about what his kids thought of their upbringing, but I told him you cannot dwell on the past. Let it go. He was a great father, and a wonderful husband to my mother. They would of celebrated 50 years of marriage on January 7, 2011. I would not change anything about my father. He will be missed. Thank you father for serving our country. You will always remain in my heart.
Sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my Prayers.
