While I miss him my biggest regret is my younger sons never got to spend much time with him. On a positive note, the shock of his untimely passing lead to many family members getting themselves checked for sleep apena. There are a lot of us now using CPAPs.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-51361561131587615122017-06-04T10:58:43.669-07:002017-06-04T10:58:43.669-07:00You're most welcome Paul.You're most welcome Paul.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-32200858220748856092017-06-04T10:06:56.497-07:002017-06-04T10:06:56.497-07:00WOW!

I do believe it's because my Dad's birthday is June 6th, not that far off.

The open end was very loose on the fastener and I realized that the wrench was worn out, I idly turned the wrench over and saw that it had my father's name engraved on it with an electric buzzer and the engraving was in my father's handwriting. I turned to my wife and said, "This is worn out and needs to be thrown away, but it was my father's and I just can't throw it away." She smiled the smile of understanding and said, "Keep it."<br /><br />He died in '82. <br /><br />Way too much pollen as I write this.<br /><br />Another great post.<br /><br />John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.com
