Although our hearts were heavy, it did help to know that dad hadn't suffered at all - he wasn't feeling well and just sat down in a chair and died - and that was a comfort knowing he didn't feel a thing!
Dad had lived 87 years so had lived a full life - he was a TRUE American and proudly flew his flag on his huge flagpole in the front yard! He had served in the military as a Ranger and loved telling stories about his times during the war! He also received the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart during his tour of duty!
More than anything, Dad loved his family and spent a lot of time around their old kitchen table, just talking to his 7 children, 34 grandchildren, 54 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren - he'll be missed by all of us!
