Jake, truly sorry to read those words but very happy your dad was able to leave this world from his own home on some of his own terms.

Jake, your father may be gone, but certainly will not be forgotten...he sounds as though he was a very special person and has passed those traits on to you.

My condolences and hope this brings you new strength and determination.

Sincerest condolences to Jake and the family. That was a warm, wonderful memory and tribute to your father. Thanks you for sharing it.

Harry and your family will be in our prayers, too.

Take care my friend. Our prayers are with you. I lost my dad in a plane crash 12 years ago. I feel your pain.

Hang in there, Jake.
Sounds like you lost one helluva special friend.
My dad passed on five years ago, also of an ailing heart.
I think of him every day. From what I’ve read, sounds like you’ll be doing the same.

Sorry for your loss Jake. My father died about 10 years ago, but everytime I think about him he comes alive if only for a few seconds. Think of him often. Ed

Please accept my condolences. Anytime we lose a loved one it is tough, but someone that special makes it even more difficult
Our prayers are with you!
