My father in law passed yesterday at the age of 91. I've been married to his daughter for 34 years so he's been my Dad for 34 years as well, I lost my own Dad at the age of 15 so its been great having him to look up, help and be helped. We've had good times and bad over these years and enjoyed many a cold one also. He was a WWII Navy vet who served on the USS Samuel Miles. During his time in the pacific they were attacked by the Japanese air force and hit by a kamakaze. He had plenty of story's and life lessons to offer. He's gone now and I will miss my Dad. its not easy to lose two in one life time. I'm a better man for having him in my life but will sure miss him.

 

Sorry for you loss. I will add you and your family to my prayers

 

My heart weighs heavy for you Dennis, I just lost my mother who was 88 years young. Condolences for you and family.

 

Sorry for your loss

 

Sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great man.

 

Sorry for you loss

 

Im very sorry for the painful loss of your father. Loosing the extraordinary men from that generation is a great loss for all of us, so much wisdom, so much bravery. we owe them so many of the things we enjoy today.

 

Sorry for your loss

 

my prayers go out to you and your family.

 

My condolences to you and your family.
I lost my dad about 15 years ago........but he is still with me.....I think of him every day. Those good memories will stay with you forever.

 

Condolences to you and family. I know it is tough, I lost both my parents within 8 months of each other back in '98. One of my best friends is barely hanging on with cancer and complications from chemo. Life can be really tough and be gone in an instant. I choose to remember and keep on living and loving every day that I and my remaining family are here.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Makes me remember losing my father, nothing tougher.

 

Sorry for your loss..my dad was 93 when he passed and a WW ll US Army vet who fought the Japanese at Okinowa in the South Pacific..he commanded one of those troop ship to shore ducks. One day I found him starring at the beginning of the movie "Saving Private Ryan". I asked, was it like that Dad? He looked at me and said.."it was worse".
No surprise our dads and these men are remembered as the "Greatest Generation"..
Many young people today haven't a clue

 

Your father in law sounds like he was a really good person and a great friend, it`s sad to hear about his passing.

 

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like it's reunion time on the USS Samuel Miles. Can't be many of them left. May he rest in peace and you and your wife be comforted in the days ahead by his memory.
