To Julian and the others here that have been thru the loss of a parent all I can say is I'm sorry and you are in my prayers. I lost my Dad to cancer in October of 1970, two months after I got home from VietNam. He had three major surgeries starting the month after I left for VietNam. I didn't know anything about till maybe three weeks before I was scheduled to come home. He wouldn't let my Mom contact the Red Cross to get me home. He said since I volunteered for Nam he didn't want to mess up my plans. I have found the longer I live the smarter he was.

Cool guy!! I bet you are proud of him. Great pics too. Remember it is just bye for now. He is still there; just freed from his tired body. I bet he misses you too; but he is more alive that ever now. I hope there are hot rods up there... I bet there is... the tracks don't close down either. Keep your chin up & pray... your dad will get the message.
