What's this?

Condolences on your loss - not looking forward to the day I do the same


that said, he's 82 and I've started to think about it. I will just try to talk about all of his qualities, which are many. He's a former Marine officer, All-American track athlete, Professor, Author, musician, and so much more. He was truly a polymath. Focus on the good things - don't have any idea about your relationship. Take your time.
