  • Dear Sharon - my condolences on your loss. Like a number of members here, I didn't know Bill (Redcap) was your dad either. Keep strong through this trying period and know the members here are having uplifting thoughts for you.

    Cheers - Jay:beer:

  • Smokey,
    Sorry I did not say this before, but you know how seldom I am around here anymore, but my sincerest condolences go out to you and your family.

    "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them" It may be time worn, but it's the best life-creed I know.

  • Sharon, This is very late but I wanted to personally express my sorrow for your loss. It is hard to say goodbye, but it does get easier as time goes on. You will always miss him, but you have those fond memories of your relationship with your dad. This coming Christmas will be 10 years since my father's death, and I still miss him, but still have those fond memories. Keep them and let them bring you comfort as it has for me. You will be missed redcap. Thanks for your time here on this board. And Sharon, know that your family here cares for you always.

    Cheers (taken from you) :cool: Hondo Duke Lane

  • Speaking of people with your Dads name-just this Friday when I was doing my first day of Salvation Army volunteer work, I was ta a WM in Calallen. Well, at about 6 PM, I saw two friends I had not seen for 3o years and 16 years-respectively. I had not known they knew each other let alone were related to each other. Anyway, I had not seen Bill-and John (their first names) in those amounts of time. I mention this because, it was a coincidence that their first names were the names I knew your Father by ;-))


    If I dont get a chance to mention this at the proper time--Merry Christmas to you from: the Ringo Kid ;-))

    Hi Smokey and many thank yous to you as well and Merry Christmas. Im finally getting more organized here in between volunteering and going to various Drs. Im going to try to get some Christmas cards out before too late? I have a good friend from South Africa whose parents live in England and are not so well off. I have a lot of folks to say prayers for so the Lord gets a lot fo messages from me.
