Ron, so sorry for your loss! If a man is close to his dad, he then has learned many valuable things from him. As we get older those things keep coming up in our day to day lives. So there is no way that our dad ever leaves us. Only in body and unfortunetly, we cannot keep them indefinitely. Very sorry! randy
