Your Father was a good man. My sympathies are with you & your family.

I never met an “irascible old coot” I didn’t like. Peace and strength, silenus.

So sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

He had a good innings, as we cricketers say, and it sounds like he made the most of it.

25

I’m sorryfor your loss. You have great memories of him, and it really does make the loss easier to bear. No regrets and good memories. He’ll never truly be gone. Best to you and your family.

26

What better way to achieve immortality than to teach, especially when you love what you’re doing and do it well.

27

(((hugs))) I am so sorry. He sounds like he was a wonderful man

That was a great tribute to a great guy. He’ll be missed by many people, but I suspect he’ll be kept alive forever by you, your family and his students. Have peace.

I’m very sorry.

33

Sorry for your loss.

34

I am sorry to hear your news. Sending supporting thoughts your way.

35

Just another voice chiming in to say “I’m sorry for your loss.”

My dad’s 82. We just never know how long we’ll have together.

36

I am also checking in to say how sorry I am for your personal loss.

I would also like to say for the rest of us plebes, there will be a lot more folk whose lives he has touched and made different and will truly feel this loss…I am speaking completely selfishly here, you understand, as I personally think the world is poorer, and I am too, for losing him.

He sounds like a truly singular individual. Congratulations for being part of his life!

37

I have to join with others in saying “nice tribute”. Your Dad sounds like a great guy. My condolences.

38

So sorry, Silenus. When it’s time, raise a bottle of ginger beer to his memory.

I lost my dad in 1995. He was 63, I was 37. It was hard.

Feel the sorrow and treasure the memories.

39

Sorry to hear that, silenus. Good luck to you and your mom.

40

I can’t think of any better way to go than surrounded by loving family.

silenus, I am so sorry for your loss, and will remember you and your family in prayer.
