Terry,

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your father... My father passed away back in 1986, and I still have a hard time with it. Both my wife and son never got to meet him, yet they really did, as he lives on in both my brother and in me.
My wife wanted to name our son after my father - I was stunned, and happy at the same time! So we did name him after my father.

It is very important to have and love family - especially in time like these.
I know it is hard, and only with talking with other family members about the good times you had will help to ease the loss. Most of all make sure to remember him!

Take care, my friend.

Dick
