Are you one of his daughters?.. My father has been gone from us now for about 30 yrs. He was only 64 yrs old then. He died suddenly of a stroke, being active, tho' not a well man up to within a few hours of his death. I was young then, with a house full of small children, but I have longed many times to be able to have done something for his comfort, even, give pleasure which he deserved so well. I guess he took real pleasure in his grandchildren tho', and doing for them what he could, as, we do now in ours."
