I was not going to post about my Father’s death because I did not want a pity party but when this write up was published I realized I wanted everyone to know just what a great man my father was.

Condolences. From the writeup sounds like he lived a pretty full life. It’s not the years in your life, but the life in your years. A few people I know have passed recently and someone posted that quote on FB and it really stuck. ---
