My father passed away peacefully on Wed morning with all of his immediate family by his side. He truly was a good man. One I was proud to have as my father. Throughout my life he was always there to help, encourage and even criticise both my brother and I. He lived a very full life of 83 years of which 62 were while married to my mother. He retired from the Lexington KY police dept with 29 years of service. Fortunately he was able to enjoy retirement for 25 years. Attached is his photo taken in about 1974.

He will be missed.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your statement about your father's life is very warming and reminded me of my own dad. I know how you are feeling.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, I know how you feel, its rough, but it sounds like your dad had a pretty good run. What more could anyone want, a great life, a great wife, and to be surrounded by family at the end. Craig
