Been a tough weekend. My wife lost her dad this weekend. He was 82 and lived a long full life. But nonetheless, it is still tough to see the end of an era.
He served in WW II in the Merchant Marines and Army, entering the military at 16....yeah, he lied about his age. He survived the war and returned home to marry my Mother-in-law. He raised two wonderful daughters, one of which has become my wife of 28 years. He served 30 years as a home delivery milkman, and was the last home delivery milkman n the bay area. While he didn't fly fish, he was an avid golfer and I spent more than a few days chasing that little white ball around a big lawn with him. Its been tough on my wife, as this was the last of her family.
Going to miss him.
