Title: My Dad
Post by: Bill Little on February 23, 2014, 12:45:05 PM
Hi All,

I lost my Dad this morning.  He had been suffering from dementia and lots of other problems lately.  He was a 30 plus year CWO-4 in the NAVY, that had been his life.  I will miss him.

Hi Brother Bill, it's never easy to lose a parent, and I give you my condolences.  For me, the Navy connection makes it even more difficult, so know that I appreciate what your dad did for our country.

Hi Will,

I think we have discussed whether or not you went to school at Millington, TN.  Dad was an Electronics/Avionics instructor there in the early 1960's.  Not sure of the exact dates, but a couple years around 1960.

When God calls us home, who's going to argue?

I am very sorry to hear this Bill. May your dad have fair winds and following seas. He knows what I mean. I lost my dad 9 years ago and still have a tendency to pick up the phone and call him.
Call if you need to talk. H^^

Hi Ty,

Even I know what you mean. ;D  I appreciate the phone offer, you might be hearing from me.

So sorry to hear of your loss Bill.
My father was my best friend for my whole life. He passed in 2005 and I still dream about him almost every night.
You will feel an empty spot deep in you soul, so let your friends and family be there for you and you be there for them.

Knowing what you must be feeling, my heart goes out to you and yours.

My deepest condolences Bill.

Were you a NAVY brat as I was?

Millington TN.  I actually spent time in that town while stationed at FT. Campbell KT.

A great place to live and work.

Deepest condolences, Bill.  I lost my dad spring of '01.  He was a WWII combat vet (17th Airborne Div), served USAF through Korea and Vietnam.  Helped me get into the hobby.
  
I lost Mom 2 days before Thanksgiving this year.  She was blind and in a nursing home 1600 miles away.  I had a flight booked to spend her December birthday with her.  I'm down to a slightly younger sister and 2 cousins now.

My wife lost 3 uncles these past 12 months.  We're going to many more funerals than weddings these days.

Bill, sorry to hear of your loss.   You must have had a long life with him.  I lost my Dad in 62.   It was devastating for me as he was my helper and go to when I needed advice.  He would tell me that when I reach 21 I would really realize how smart he was.  It was so true.   So take care as I know you will see your Dad again one of these days.

Bill-

I'm very sad to hear of your losing your father. Parents are very difficult to lose, and I still think of Dad whenever I see a new challenge. Guys from their era were not just our own special friends, mentors, and protectors, but a special breed from a generation who were extremely self-sufficient, innovative, and often brave and generous. I always think of Dad fondly whenever I use his tools and remember our times together. May you find comfort in remembering your good times together too. 'sincere best wishes.

SK
