TR: An 82-Year Trip

[jshefftz]

I was planning to write a TR for a four-day trip that was planned to finish up tomorrow.
But that didn't happen, so here's a TR for an 82-year trip instead:

It's pretty clear you have much to be grateful for in your life. It is also clear you are passing along what you learned. His legacy is in good hands.

All the best to you and yours.

One rarely reads as nice a "blog" post as this Jonathan. Thanks, and also our condolences.

What a wonderfully written tribute. So sorry for your loss.

Having lost my dad a couple of years ago, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. I won't presume to know how you feel, as we all deal differently with things of this nature.

But I do think as human beings, we would all like to think that we have or had made a difference in others' lives. Surely your Dad is smiling down knowing that things he did mattered. Cheers to you for recognizing that, and I'm sure some of him will continue to pass down from you through the family tree.

A beautifully written snapshot of life. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

Thank you for sharing with us. Your dad certainly personified what is important in life...what a great gift to share with us. My condolances to you and your family.

What a wonderful, warm TR. Like the best of them it made me feel a little bit of what it was like to "be there". So sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing this with us.
