This is one of the few surviving photos, of my father (1910 - 1973) He fought in World War II, and was a decorated war hero. He retired after many years in service, and if fact, he finished his career in the Army National Guard. Retirement age at that time was 62 and the government extended him one year, and from I understand, he was the first Warrant Officer 4th class that was allowed this exception. They knew his value, skills, and knowledge, thus kept him until he was 63, and he never missed a day of work in his life.
After 6 months of "retirement", he passed away in his sleep, due to congestive heart failure.
The following is a tribute I wrote about my memories of my father, and his great influence on my life:
I loved to watch my dad ride horses in competition, as he was a great horseman! He taught me how to care for and ride horses for fun and in competition. I even won some ribbons!

As a retired teacher, having taught for 35 years, I spend a lot of time in our many flower gardens, with water features, metal sculptures, and many flowering trees, bushes and shrubs. My wife gave me a digital camera for a Christmas present a few years ago, and I started taking photos of the many types of flora and fauna on our property. This became an enjoyable hobby for me, to enjoy the outdoors, and capture some of the beautiful photo opportunities that our gardens have provided. I especially love close-ups of flowers and insects, and basically anything that has something unique to capture on film. I have entered several contests in our area, and even won some recognition with my photos. I have posted on Face Book and am now...

A lovely photo of your father, Randy! He was obviously a man of integrity. You can tell that just by looking at him. He left you an ethic which has shaped you into the kind of person that you are and which you have been able to pass onto your daughter, who, hopefully, will be passing it on to her children too. This moral heritage is more important that anything which money can buy. Thank you very much for sharing this nugget of your Family History, Randy.

Randy, thank you for a heart-felt tribute about your Dad! Every word in your Dad's quotes reminded me of my Dad's exact quotes (smile)! I too have taught my children the past 27 years about being respectful, honest, faithful, etc. Everything else will come naturally if we have the inner beauty... Soon, my children will have their children and hopefully carry on the "good quotes".

Wow, Randy. You can't imagine how your tribute touches my heart. I just lost my Dad a few weeks ago at age 98. He, too, was a WWII, proud Navy veteran who served in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets as ship's navigator...a job he loved. He wanted to make the Navy his career, but Mom had other ideas after chasing him all over the country (with me as a baby in tow!) just to spend a few precious days with him while his ship was in port! Making family his #1 priority, Dad settled for a more mundane career as an accountant. He left the Navy Reserves in the 50's as a Lieutenant Commander. I am in the process of writing my tribute to him to be delivered at his memorial service. So much of what you say about your Dad applies to mine as well! (My Dad even died of congestive heart failure, as yours did.) He was an Eagle Scout, and something my brother and I will always hear being "whispered in our ear," is: "Anything worth doing is worth doing well!" "Do your best." Service to God, country, community and family was the way Dad lived his life. You and I were both blessed to have had these wonderful men in our lives. Focusing on that helps to ease the pain of loss. Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad to have read this at this particular time. (Your Dad was one "handsome dude" ...as was mine! :-)) L/F

Randy, This special time of the year helps us to remember family and friends who have gone to rest… and lets us celebrate their legacy and the important ways they shaped our lives. I am certain your Father continues to have great pride in the man you are. I enjoyed rereading your heartwarming tribute to your Dad! L&F

Elizabeth, you hit the nail on the head in your assessment of my Father, and was felt by everyone he knew. Appreciate your wonderful visit and kind words of praise for this wonderful man.

Nice Work

Oh Randy, I feel as though that I know your father from reading your amazing praise and personal stories about your experiences together. It seems to me that you wish your father's employers had needed him longer because he would have lived longer. He was part of the Greatest Generation and knew much about hard work, honor, trust, devotion to his family. I am certain that you are as good a father as your father was to you. Thank you so much for sharing this very personal and insightful family legacy.
