This morning, my Dad (and my best friend) passed on. I was very fortunate to have him as a Dad, and equally fortunate to have had him in my life for 53 years.

Two weeks ago, he was taken to the hospital with pneumonia, but it turned out that he died from congestive heart failure. He was 86.

He was a World War II veteran. He was also an Eagle Scout, and served for many years as a Scoutmaster.

Please remember him in your prayers.

Rick

Losing either a parent or a friend is tough. When they are both, it is truly a huge loss. Take care of yourself, and cherish those great memories.

My thoughts are with you.

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

Rick...so very sorry for what youre going through..as we reach this age where we begin to lose parents and friends (and as you stated both in one) all we can do is cling to our memories and friends.

I am sad for your loss. I am happy, however, that you had so many years together.
