    Sorry about the loss, Jeff. My dad is up getting up there and has taken everything -- prostate cancer, kidney removal, heart-attack, etc. -- and keeps on ticking. Think I'll give him a call. :)

    He can't be a bad person when he got a son like you. I'm sure he is very proud of you. Carry on!

    RIP

    Sorry for your loss. I've lossed both of my parents, and it's hard to have that happen.

    I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    Sorry about your loss Jeff.

    I've never met you but you seem like a great person so your dad isn't really gone forever. He seems to have left a great legacy behind.

    We'll probably start around 11:30 and play until 12:30 or so.

    The older I get, the more I've come to appreciate just how remarkable a man my father is. Even at this age, he's still my rock...the family's rock, in fact. I think the entire family would have a profound sense of 'loneliness' if anything ever happens to him, we would all feel 'lost' in life, regardless of where we stand.

    I am sorry for your loss, Jeff, may he RIP...
