He was a great man. 50 combat missions in WWII, Distinguished Flying Cross
with 3 oak leak clusters. He was square and we fought when I was young, but we
became tight after some years. He was a staunch Democrat.

I say "sorry," but if your dad was like mine, we were pretty lucky despite some issues (at least my dad anyway).

Take care.
