So sorry for your loss, but your father lived a long and very full life and has a lot of great memories and accomplishments to his name. Something to be very proud of. My prayers are with all the family.

My sincere condolences. And my apologies that I will not be able to attend the visitation/funeral. Uncle Harold was always looked up to! I admired his tenacity and determination to continue the race on the road and the race laid before him in life. May God comfort you all.
