If you’d like an easy way to go back and read the things your father posted, you can search for all of his posts via the “statistics” tab on his user profile. He was a very thoughtful and polite man – a joy to post with.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know, B.O.D. I’m sure you have a lot on your mind. I hope you know you have our deepest gratitude and our sincerest appreciation… and I speak for everyone here (where the rest of you like it or not!)
