And it is usually the same actors.

 

Once a noodle head, always a noodle head.

 

Evening woods,

I sat with my dad tonight and held his hand as he passed to the other side. I'm numb and sad but at the same time I am ok with the fact that I was there until he made the next step of his journey.

He was a Marine and a proud one at that. Since I was a kid, I remember telling other kids on the playground that my dad was in Vietnam. I still tell that story to this day and am still just as proud.

If you have a beer in the next few days, I ask each of you to raise a toast to a Marine who I called dad for 52 years. He was a warrior and a good man who brought home the hells of war and still made a life for me despite all of that.

Thank you woods for your friendship here.

 

Rick, I trust you and your family find comfort. RIP, Marine.

 

So sorry to hear Rick. I’m glad that you were there with him. Godspeed Marine.

 

Rick, so sorry for your loss. Will pray for the loved ones left behind

 

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Rick. Godspeed, Brother.

 

My condolences Rick.... Semper Fi

 

Prayers and Godspeed to a Marine and a Dad, Rick

 

Just never have the right words, Rick. Hope it was something of a comfort to you that you were able to be with him at that time.
