Ponch, there are no words to be said that will lesson your loss. I lost my dad in 1987. He too served our country in WW II but never saw combat. He was on a ship in the Pacific when Japan surrendered. He was always my hero. Your dad will live on in your memory. My deepest condolences. Thank you for sharing with us.

May you feel God's presence in your family's time of need. May you smile often with fond memories of your father and may you continue to feel your father's presence in your life.

My Condolences. They were a great generation....my Dad who is still with us but not doing well servered at the end of WWII then again in Korea. My father-in law, whom I was extremely close to passed two years ago. He servered in WWII, ( Navy),was a boat driver that carried the troops to the beaches in all the big invasions in Europe. Couldn't swim a stoke to the day he died!!!!!
I miss him. Hang in there.

Ponch I'm so sorry for your loss. You and yours will be in my prayers. I lost my Dad in April and think about him everyday. I was fortunate enough to work side by side with him for over 30 years and I know it's tough, especially when they're taken suddenly.

Ponch,

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded like a great man and a real hero. I lost my father 5 years ago and although we only saw each other a few times a year, we talked on the phone every Sunday night. I too miss those calls.

Hang in there buddy. I'm sure you have a lot of great memories to cherish.

konan · 01-22-2008, 11:03 PM

Ponch,

Your father will surely be proud to know that you will pass the great memories and the values he taught you to his grand children.

Sorry for your loss Ponch. Your father sounds a great man and a genuine hero. He was fortunate to have a family who cared. After all is said and done all we really have is family and each other. You and your family are in our prayers.

ponch,
Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine was a navigator in B-17s. He is still alive, but has alzheimer's, and is not doing too good. He was in the 398th bomb group, 601st squadron. My mom used to say dad would ride up on an old Indian mortorcycle when he was courting her and spray gravel all over the place. This evidently pissed her father off quite a bit. The WWII vets are a great generation. It's sad to see them pass.

Ponch,
Pease accept my condolences. I know how you feel. It really sucks. Wish you would have told me you were in town I would have passed by to pay my respects.

**Idaho** · 01-24-2008, 01:03 AM

Hey Ponch, I can tell from your write up about your Dad that you thought a lot about him and miss him. You are lucky to have had a Father like that. My deepest sympathies. God's Peace be with you.

Hey ponch, Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you and your family are doing ok. I know it is a very difficult time for you right now. You know that no one ever knows what to do or say when something like this happens but you ask that dumb question everytime and you know what the answer is, which is how are you doing? Like we don't know how you are doing. Just makes us not worry so much if we hear from you every now and then. Sorry if i am bothering you just wanted to make sure you are alright. Prayers to you and your family.
