Tribute

Forgive me this once as I take the liberty tonight to post a shot of mine which became my dad's favorite image. It's one of the first digital images I ever made and as an old photog himself, he loved the leading lines of the fence and sunbeams streaking through this sunrise shot.

He passed tonight at 7:23, comfortable and at peace with God. I was alone with him as he made his final journey. For 88 years he graced this earth and though a simple man he touched many lives on his earthly journey.

I think he would like this tribute. He will be dearly missed.

Thanks for everything dad!

Grover was the very best sort of man, and it was a great pleasure for me to have met him. The world is indeed a much better place because he walked here. One measure of a man is what he left behind, and no doubt his son will continue to be a living tribute to him in many ways. As I am writing this a shooting star just streaked across the northwestern sky - I'm certain it was from him - I will think of Grover with each shooting star I see from now on - no more wishes needed for him - he is already there....

My condolences, Wayne.

Wayne, My condolences to you and your family in this time of grief. It sounds like you and your dad had the kind of relationship most strive for but few achieve. Lots of good memories will help keep you strong.

My condolences as well, Wayne. Sounds like his passing was what we all hope for our loved ones at that time.

I can see why he liked that picture, very peaceful image.

Wayne, My condolences, too. I am glad you got to share that last time with your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My, what a beautiful tribute to your dad, Wayne...it's easy to see why this was his favorite photograph. It says a lot about life, about how we follow the long and winding road until we find our place in the sun. You and your dad were fortunate to be able to share thoughts and impressions of your work. I'm sure those thoughts and impressions will continue in one form or another...

Your tribute to a beloved father could not be more appropriate. You honor us in letting us share in your loss. Your father had a good eye for beauty. Evidently, the fruit does not fall far from the tree.
I will add you and your family to my prayers this week.

Wayne, my condolences. A great tribute to your dad. You had commented at the fall retreat that he was hanging in there, sorry to hear that he has passed away. Our thoughts are with you.

My condolences to you and your family Wayne.

Wayne,
Greatful sons warm the hearts of all Dads. I'm sure your father is proud of you.

Wayne,

A gorgeous image and an even more gorgeous tribute to your dad! He sounds like a wonderful man.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and yours.

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and thoughtful condolences. It means a lot to me that I could share my grief at the passing of my father with my extended family at CSNP.

The healing has begun and a new phase in my life awaits me. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to share this moment with me.
