I felt I needed to share some sad news with the forum regarding my father. Quite a few members got to meet him in Virginia at Jared & Heather’s home when they were still stationed there. They threw a wonderful welcome home party for my daughter who had just returned home from a tour in Kandahar, Afghanistan. (On a side note, the little electric Slingshot the forum bought for her daughter Bella is still in use to this day - she’s now a complete pro at driving it. She has a spare battery for longer drive time. My other daughter now has a daughter too & she will get to use it also, in time. Again, a heartfelt thanks to all who contributed...)
I digress. Those who met my Dad at the party know that his eyesight was horrific but was in good health otherwise. He loved meeting everyone & talked about that day often. Since that time, he went almost totally blind & his health kept deteriorating. Heart, lungs, kidneys, battling water retention etc. Dad passed away Sunday evening after being in the hospital for 6 days (his second long hospital stay this year). He had turned 89 in February. It wasn’t coronavirus that took him, it was a plethora of other issues - it was his time.
Rest in peace Dad - you’re with Mom now. I love you...
So sorry to hear that!
