You changed the world for 87 years, making it a better place with every breath you took. The breaths are gone, but the changes remain in those you met in life. When I am at my best, I am the man I see in you. When I am at my worst, you loved me nonetheless. My hero may have passed, but his legend beats within my heart. Thank you Dad, may my love carry you in your travels.
Do you think it would be ok if I loved him, too….because I do.
My heart is with you, my friend. And your father’s heart…will never leave you.
I already told him about you and Jo, he’d love to hear from you.
I had to wait to reply…my heart is sore for you my friend, but it is also filled with joy because I hear the love between you. What a treasure that must be for you to hold on to during this time where loss sits on your shoulder for it makes the weight a tiny bit less. I love your father because I love his son. because he helped make you a man worth knowing and a friend to cherish. My heart, my soul, my friendship is with you…
Can i just add…you’ve got his eyes…
Thanks Jo! There is so much of him in me, only the smallest portion of which is physical. We both have great eyes though, oh… and the same sense of humor.
I loved “Stan the Man” more than most on this earth. This world was indeed a better place for his being in it. I will miss him so, and John, much love to you my friend!
He loved you as much as I do, thank you my dear friend.
Very cool.
Thanks!
What a lovely tribute and legacy. May you always feel his spirit with you, as his love continues to reside in your heart and soul. I am sorry to hear of your loss. A prayer is lifted for you, your family and his journey. God Bless ~~ becca
Thank you my friend, we both appreciate your kindness and words.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Just remember he is never far away – he lives in you and is watching over you.
He has watched over me every minute and day of my life. I doubt that it would stop simply because he gave up his mortal flesh. Thank you my friend!
Thinking of you. That’s all, because that’s true. Hang in, dear John. Remember.
