Thomas, I only met you dad briefly, but I can tell he had a very sweet spirit. I am so sorry for your loss, and I am grateful for your father's brave service to our country. I know this is a hard time for you and your family and my prayers are with you all, your father may not be here but his spirit will never be gone. He has a new life now with the Lord in heaven and will be proudly watching over his children and grandchildren.
