Zona Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Even though I have never met you, I have been a follower and poster here since the D&C days. You are one of the people here who feel like a friend, and you are a Brother as far as fandom goes. I am deeply and truly sorry for your loss. I am sure your Dad was thankful that you were by his side when he needed you the most. As a Father, I hope for the same from my family. Again, My Condolences on the loss of you Father, and your friend. And best wishes for your Brother. Hard times are upon you for sure, so have Faith!!! Zona
billsrcursed Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Sorry to hear about your loss. My father took off when I was 3, so my Grandfather stepped up. He, too, died from Congestive Heart Failure. He's resting in the same place as where your Father will be in Jacksonville. Cherish the memories, they'll be there forever.
ajzepp Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Really sorry for your loss, Dean...take care, my friend
UConn James Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 So sorry to hear that, Dean. The older we all get, the more acquainted we get with loss. Important to take the time to grieve properly, and to help our other loved ones grieve. The WWII vets are going fast. Did he have the chance to be interviewed for that project they have?
Dan Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I'll be sending good thoughts and prayers in your direction. News like this is never good. But, I'll pray you get through this difficult time as well as possible.
Lori Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Congratulations to your father for raising an outstanding human being.Cheers, B. Hey, waitaminute, this is the Dean we're talking about, right? Of course it is. You were there for him at the end, Brian, just as you have been for years. Hope that brings you some comfort in the difficult days ahead. Thoughts, prayers, and hugs your way, brother.
Buftex Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Sorry to hear about The Dad, The Dean... I am really happy that you got to spend his final time with him. One of my greatest fears, which is inevitable, is that I will miss my parents final years...heck, I already am. Every time I see them (about once a year) I wonder if the next time will be their funeral...if it wasn't so late, I would call my folks right now...thanks for reminding me The Dean... you have a lot of friends here, even if we only know each other as an avatar...peace!
Nanker Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Sorry for your deep loss. My dad died at 90 and I'll always miss him. I'm sure you'll miss yours. Peace.
The Senator Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Mister Dean was such a great guy. RIP Tony. Anyone who has encountered 'The Dean' should know that his love of life, his humor, kindness, generosity, and wit all come in no small part from his dad. Tried to reach you last evening, Deano -- will call later today.
Corp000085 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Prayers to you. May your father's soul rest and may you find peace.
Chandler#81 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 My condolences to you and your family, Deano. You are a part of what makes TSW an enjoyable place to spend a couple hours each day, and your loss is our loss. To your Dad: Ah-ten-HUT! PRE-sent ARMS! Thank you for your service and your role in the Greatest Generation!
Cugalabanza Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Dean, I’m sorry to hear it. It’s so great that you could be with him. I hope you and your family are doing ok.
