Thanks for those very nice sentiments researcher. I for one, was very blessed to have had a wonderful dad for 12 years. He went to be with the Lord much too young but he had a tremendous impact on my life in the short years that I had him. Being a dad myself to two children, I can't tell you how many times when certain situations have come up with them, that I've asked myself, "now, how would "Dad" have handled this?"
I usually fall short of his wisdom, but still, he's always been the standard that I strive for.
