Don't know why, but, just working away in the shop this morning and my Dad popped into my head.
A bunch of old memories, times we spent together, times we got along, times we didn't.

He has been gone less than a year.  I still get saddened when I think of him.  So many opportunities that were missed.  Mostly all my own fault.

He was a great guy.  Not much education, just common sense and the desire to try and improve.

Definitely one of the "Heroes of the Country"
