He was giant of a man. He was born a year and two weeks after my father. My mother was also born in 1916, so your dad and mine were of the same generation. I'm sorry you lost your wonderful father so soon. <br /><br />Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-47556512395175112652015-06-22T13:13:15.404-07:002015-06-22T13:13:15.404-07:00What a wonderful tribute to an amazing man.

My parents loved each other deeply and were a good example to all of us as to what marriage can be and how to strive for it.

The glimpse into your family life is quite interesting. It is curious to me how within one family the siblings can be so different such as between you and Norma Jean … outgoing vs. introverted. And you two were fairly close together among the six siblings. I have experienced the same thing in my own extended family. Some can be so different it is hard to believe they are from the same blood. Anyway, there is a large difference in age between me and my sister who was born 16 years before. Since from my earliest memories she was already out of the home it is sometimes difficult for me to know what a closer, age-wise, brother/sister relationship would be like. In any event, I have enjoyed reflecting on your story and thank you for sharing it.John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-73418626915411530412015-06-21T09:26:06.844-07:002015-06-21T09:26:06.844-07:00An honest and warm reflection on someone who many ...An honest and warm reflection on someone who many would have wished for a father.
