[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP of 11:59, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your parents sound amazing.[/quote]

Thank you! My parents are amazing - I was a selfish, entitled, self-centered child. I don't know where I got it from (possibly adoption issues)... But, I was a horrible son.

Anything good in me - comes from emulating my Dad - he was a great man.

I learned so many things about his after his death that I am ashamed I did not know about him while he was a live.

He marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. and used to co-sign for mortgages for African American families that were racially discriminated against when trying to obtain loans.

He flew airplanes in the air force during the Korean War.

He was a Sr. Engineer for Boeing and helped design and innovate the Chinook helicopter.

He left a very lucrative job at Boeing to start his own company to make advances in minimally intrusive surgical equipment such as ultrasound machines, heart monitors, etc.

He flew gliders - although I do remember as a young child - my Dad flying me and my twin brother in the glider.

He was a great man - he was big on social responsibility, big on values, big on compassion - he was a great husband to my mother - I never saw them fight - I know they would have discussions in the bedroom with the door closed, but when they came out - they were a united front - and he adored her until the day he died (think old couple still pinching each other's butts)...[/quote]

Your description of your father made an internet stranger tear up. He was a giant of a man.

I lost my dad 2 years ago and the grief still comes in waves. I wish you peace and healing.[/quote]

I am sorry for your loss as well and I wish you peace and healing as well.[/quote]
