Dad, Your work is done.
The shop is all locked up.
You can now put on your shoes.
It's time to go home to the ones you love.
May you now forever rest in eternal peace.

Hey Paul, I'm very sorry for your loss, it's never easy. I hope he didn't suffer at all in his final chapter here on earth. Rest in peace Casimer and thank you for your service and devotion to our country.
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Here is the verse from my Dad's OB. Found it helpful.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there; I did not die.
 
I know how much you loved, respected, and cared for your dad. I know your your struggles.
I'd say he was the luckiest man around.
God bless you.

Thank you Matt,
Well soon I will have no excuse to start playing around with the sport fury and see exactly what I got and what it needs to start enjoying driving it instead of collecting dust in the garage.

Yes it was surely an honor and a true labor of love to care for dad. I got so much solace from dads doctor as well as all of his nurses of how dad would have been gone a long time ago if it was not for the love & care Angela & I provided for him. However I think we ( Angela & I ) are the lucky ones to have had him in our lives especially the past few years as he had been declining in health. Thank you again ,,,,
