*SALUTE*

I lost my Uncle not too long ago (Captain, USN), and he was a real role model to me. I feel for you.

Remember the good times.

Mark,

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Prayers sent your way.

When you are up to it, perhaps you'd like to pay tribute to him here, in this thread for our veterans... http://www.pafoa.org/forum/general-2...es-photos.html
You say he was like a Grandfather to you and I'd truly enjoy hearing about the man who meant so much to you.

Take care buddy.

Don't stand by my grave and weep,
For I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint in the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
In the soft blush of the morning light
I am the swift bird in flight.
Don't stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4, KJV)
