My mom and dad lived through the great depression, and after all that he became very successful. At his funeral I heard a number of people say, the problem with this is that all the good men are going away. I like to think otherwise, that folks like him and your dad have passed along values we need. Ken Carney On 6/30/2010 4:32 AM, Richard Man wrote: > My father passed away on Monday morning.
