This past weekend me, my Mom, my brother Eric and sis-in-law Barbara went to the cemetery to see my Dad's grave marker. He and Mom are on there. They have some great neighbors - lots of friends from church, both living and deceased, have purchased their places in the quiet area. It was kind of strange - I didn't feel Dad's presence there at all. Dad is still around us when we need him. Allie the sweet dog was interested too - I bet she still misses Dad too. We all do.

Watch for the dragonflies....
I saw dragonflies...sitting on the bench and holding Allie, and one flew around us. I had forgotten. It was a confirmation for sure.
Hi,
I just finished watching a documentary on the restoration of Battleship Texas, and out of all of the content of that video... I was most intrigued by your father. His mannerisms, passion, and overall character led to to try and find out more about him, as a person. I knew the odds of finding him alive were slim given his age in the documentary, and the age of the documentary itself, but I was hopeful.
I've come across your page here, and read some other things about him. I just wanted to let you know that among the other 1000's of people that he effected during his lifetime...I too was effected by him.
I wish you all the best, Feel free to contact me anytime if you feel like it!
