[Copper]

I'm sorry to hear this, my condolences.

He had a good life.

[brenda]

What a beautiful obit. Yes, he had quite a life, and he knew what was important. Codolences to you and all your family, Horace.

Condolences, Horace.

[Catseye3]

My condolences also, Horace.

Someone wrote a long time ago that we are not truly adult until our parents are no longer with us. That makes such a loss doubly difficult.

So sad that he's passed on, Horace.

Sending you, and all your family, a virtual hug.

And yeah, what Brenda said - a wonderful obituary that gives you a sense of the man.

[Axtremus]

My condolences, @Horace.

Sorry for your loss, pancreatic cancer is a heavy burden to bear, for the patient and his loved ones.

May you have no further sadness in the future.

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm very sorry to hear this, Horace. My condolences.

As others have said, that's a very nice obituary - a life well lived.

[xenon]

Sorry to hear, Horace. Beautiful obituary.

[Rich]

Sorry to hear about your dad, Horace.

I’m sorry Horace. That was a great obituary. Like my father he was born at home and died at home. I too did the dropper thing with my folks. Morphine as well as water.

In Hebrews, it is written that is appointed unto men once to die. It is inescapable, but a life well-lived may be the best revenge a mere mortal has against Death.

Your Dad had a well-lived life. From the woman he loved, to the children he fathered and raised, the sights and sounds he experienced the world over and even his death, surrounded by a loving family in his own home, is the definition of a life many wish they had.

Requiescat in pace. May God grant your family comfort in this time of sorrow.

[Mik]

I'm glad you got there in time that he knew you were with him. That may not seem like a lot now but it will comfort you in years to come.

He led a remarkable life, and certainly brought up a remarkable son.

[Aqua Letifer]

I'm really sorry to hear that, Horace. That was indeed a wonderful obituary.

[Horace]

Thank you everybody for your kind words.

My sentiments exactly.

Thank you for sharing Horace.

Peace.

We would all be so lucky to live half of that obituary. Sorry, man.

[LuFins Dad]

I’m sorry that you lost your father. He sounds like a remarkable man.
