So, I made this for a Tribute to and for my Dad.

I am going to print some up and have them available at a sepcial get together at the end of the month for all the family and close friends of Dad's.

What do think?

The Photo was taken from the door of the Family Farm house he was born in (In Saskatchewan) looking West ..one Christmas Eve.

Dennis, I have been gone all weekend and just saw that your dad had passed. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, and I send you my condolences to you and your family. Very nice poem Dennis.

Dennis:

Just got in and caught up...my deepest condolences. In time you will know truly you did it right. You've been a good example to all.

To our dads Dennis, gone but never forgotten..

"There's a long, long trail, a-winding
into the land of my dreams.
Where the nightingale is calling,
and the white moon beams.
There's a long, long night, a-waiting
until my dreams all come true;
That's the day that I'll be going,
down that long, long trail with you."

--Stoddard King (lyrics) and music by Alonzo "Zo" Elliott; 1915

I emailed my condolences, my friend, but still wish to publicly say that my heart is with you and your family. My dad has been gone for so many years that I can't remember. All I know is I am at the age he was when he passed. If I make it through this year, I will count every day as a blessing....or a curse...unless my luck changes and the Lord decides to favor me. I still miss him and miss the things we never did together, when I was young and had the chance, but lived my own life instead. I hope the young people here, regardless of their closeness to their parents, spend more time with them NOW, while they still can, before it's too late and they can't.

I know He has favored you and yours, in this time of loss. Hang in there, my friend, you have a lot of people here who care about you.

For anyone interested in read in his obit.
you can see it here.
Missing is the RCAF emblem and the I.O.O.F. Emblem

Some of his accomplishments.

1) Got a Hole-in-One in golf ,May 1966 (200 yd 7 iron)
2) In the mid-late 1930's being considered a great Ball player was frequently picked up and flown in to area towns to play.He made spending money by beating people at snooker or billiards.
3) In 1987, at a Hockey Team reunion was named the best player to come out of his home town.
4) In 1944/45, was scouted by the Boston Bruins (but refused as he married my Mom in June after the war ended)
5) In 1972 was given the title of Manager instead of Vice-president (which he preferred) but was still the 3rd highest paid person with the company because of his managerial skills and performance..surpassed only by the President & Executive VP of the company.
6) He did ALL of his own building and renovations in and at every house he lived in (at the age of 38 he had a built-in helper ..although short as he was

7) He became one of the most respected and well liked businessman in Calgary whether it be the concrete or lumber business.
