Terry and Dale,
I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I remember the time when my parents had passed away and recall it felt so lonely with both gone. In my case that pain eased with time and I just held on to all of those countless great memories that I had. I hope that you find that time soon. Please know that you have old friends (like me) that you haven't see in decades thinking of you and your family during this time of sadness.
