He was 81 and spent the last year in a nursing home, he loved to hunt, fish, hunt for mushrooms and play cards, he purchased one of the first Illinois deer permits when they came out, he also bought a house on a strip mine lake a little before the "rush" (1951) I told my daughter he had very little of what we have a lot of today--Debt!, he had a credit card he only used to used to buy gas when we went on vacation. Mom passed away in 02, my dad was the last of a family of 8--he was born at home. He was pretty talented, he retired a welder at the strip mine, he was also elected to township road commissioner 2 terms--(8 years) where you maintain secondary roads-(40 miles) at the mine he also ran a dozer awhile and did some reclamation work, he was a pretty decent carpenter also building a 3 bedroom ranch style home around the one bedroom house he started with. He was a korean vet from the Navy, he was an example of the 50/80's's middle class working man.
 
Sorry for your loss. Sounds like a real man and positive male role model. Again, sorry for your loss.

As I always say if they lived that long with a loving family one should celebrate their life not mourn it.

I celebrate your dad's life. :thu It does hurt his loved ones left behind to know he's gone but look back on his fine life with joy.

My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to you and your family. Sounds like your dad led a rich life and leaves behind a lot of wonderful memories for you.
 
Sorry to hear of your father's passing but it sounds like he had a full life and you are lucky to have spent it with him!

Though I'm entering this post a little later, my thoughts are still there with you and the family about the passing. Stay strong.
