Dad would've been what... 83 today? It certainly does seem that he was taken too soon... we all know productive people who live beyond their 70's. Funny... Dad in many ways never lived beyond the 70's... or the sixties. He stayed true to who he was for better or worse, and even now, what -- 7 years after his passing people continue to drop by this message board and post comments. Each time someone does that it's like a gift to our family. So thank you all for sharing your experiences, they continue to inspire, and to bring a smile to our faces, if not a tear to our eyes.
