[MIKEYTEE]

The phone rang at 6:25 this morning. My youngest brother was calling to tell me the news you don't want to hear. Dad died this morning sometime after 2:00 and before 6:15 AM. Dad lived a good life and some may remember that he remarried at the tender age of 90. At 97 and with congestive heart failure it was his time.
I last saw him in August when we gathered in Nags Head, NC for a dinner to celebrate his life while he could still enjoy the event.
Dad was a pilot in WWII and was an engineer at NASA in the space program. Dad retired some 30+ years ago and enjoyed a good healthy life until the last year or so when the heart problems started.
Dad was a long time member of the Lions Club and had a fishing tournament for the blind named after him.
Dad used to say " I don't have any old friends, they are all dead! " Well  now he can reunite with those old friends on the golden streets of Heaven.
Till we meet again, Rest In Peace, you deserve the rest.

Mike,

You were very fortunate to have been able to have your Dad still around and functional to such an advanced age.  Most of us  have lost our Dads long before the age of 90 and beyond.

May all the Dads (and Moms too) that have passed on............rest in peace.

To be a child of God means absent from the body, present with the Lord.  While you and the family miss him, you are right Mike that you will see him again someday with a new body, no hurts, pains, crying, sorrow...."when we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing His praise than when we first begun".

My step father is still with us and sharp as a tack at 94 with 69 missions over Germany under his belt.  I salute him and your father, Mike.  They truly are/were the greatest generation.

Mike,  losing a parent is so very hard,  but when they have a long healthy life it makes it somewhat easier.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
