"loving PopPop"... sounds like a wonderful man. Seeing the church listed in the obit, I'll pray a Catholic prayer...

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the infinite mercy of God, rest in peace.

[Katz]

I'm sorry too and I will pray for you.

I offer condolences.

It's been a big week for celebrity deaths, and while Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Cameron Williams are all big names, it was this one that got to me.

*hug*

[ako]

Sorry for your loss. Hope memories will comfort you once you and your wife and family get over the shock.

[Roadstergal]

I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences.

I don't care if it's the natural order - losing a parent hurts like nothing else in the world.

[Jesurgislac]

Fred, I'm so sorry. Condolences and best wishes to you and to your wife, and his family.

I popped over here thinking "Left Behind Friday?" and it took me a minute or so to understand what I was reading as I read it, and then went back and read through it again to be sure I was understanding: and what came to mind, as I read the second time, was that Bachelor Chow from February last year.

I bet you and your father-in-law had good times together when you were baching it, and those memories will enrich the stories you tell his grandchildren. He isn't dead while you, and they, remember him.

[Cowboy Diva]
