Tough time for a brother
 

Franco and I were talking today, it looks like his Pop who has been living with them for the past 12 years is hanging on by a thread and the doctors feel he can be gone at any minute. He asked me to let the brethren know so I am doing so.
I had the pleasure of meeting the man, he is a great guy, I hope things happen peacefully for him and some consolation for Franco and his bride Robin comes in knowing they have friends here and our prayers are with them all.

Prayers sent.

Franco and Robin already know and understand how to continue his dads existence in this world, hard part is trying to cope with the other people not as close to them and him, causing a distraction.
This is part of living, we all got to go thru it, how we deal with it is what makes us human.
Ya'll take care, family is all we got!

That was the hardest thing for me, losing my dad. The more you love'em, the closer you are, the harder it is. Family is all we have, God Bless.

In our prayers.

Thanks for posting Willy...

When we were down there, I sat and talked to Pop...his days in the Navy came up and I asked him what he did...he said he served aboard the U.S.S. Cowpens...as it turns out, my house is about 5 miles from the little historic town of Cowpens, SC for which that ship was named...The Battle of Cowpens was an important turning point in the Revolutionary War and the battlefield is preserved today...I explained all that to him and I could see his eyes light up and dance w/all the details I could provide about the ship he so proudly served on...later, I went to the Cowpens Public Library, copied some literature and publications from the war days about the ship and where she served...sent them to Franco to share w/his dad and Franco later told me Pop appreciated them very much.

Franco's dad is a prime example of why his is called "The Greatest Generation"...let us never forget or take for granted what we have today because Pop's generation went to war to preserve it.

Thanks, Pops!!

will keep in my Prayers

In my prayers too.

Thanks guys..

Pop is resting and he is peaceful. We are thankful to have friends like you guys.
