Sorry for your loss, definitely someone to be proud of and look up to. My GP is still alive and he is one of those types,served in the Korean War, got a tooth pulled with no drugs, wrestled alligators, gave himself stitches, etc, just a hardcore old man. There aren't many men like that these days. What's a shame, is this was a man worth being recognized for his accomplishments, but what does TV recognize, wierdo/molestors like Michael Jackson.
