Steve,
Very sorry to learn of your father's passing. The loss of a parent is a passage we must all make but difficult at best and one we are never fully prepared for. During this difficult time, keep in mind that the memories of your father will bring you much joy as the years go on and provide you comfort as you grieve now.
