I'm very sorry for your loss. I was looking at pictures two weeks ago of a trip to some of my family took to Ireland when I was 4-5 yrs old, 1973-74. There was a picture in the bunch of me and my Dad taking a ferry over the Shannon River. In the picture I'm looking at the camera, he's got his hand on my shoulder but he's looking at me, not the camera. I now know what he was thinking because I recognize the look on his face, it's the face I have on when I'm looking at my own son. He died in 1981 when i was 12. John, I say this because it sounds like you had an awesome relationship with your Dad. It's that relationship and those memories that will always keep him in your life. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss.
