For all of us who have lost their fathers we know your feelings. Your priorities are correct. I contrast them to Dean Blevins who blew off medical advice from board certified physicians and thus putting himself over his family to “see Tiger” ( big deal). You were right to be with your dad. You will never regret it.

Berry – I don’t know if you’ll see this or not, but I want to let you know how much I appreciated the article on your dad. It really touched me, and your love and appreciation for your dad, the life that he lived and the influence he had on you and your brothers came through loud and clear.

Yes, you are fortunate to have such a venue to honor your dad, but you are far more fortunate to have had him in your life, both as a young man growing up and as an adult, leading by example and demonstrating what it means to be a man, a husband and a father. I envy you that – it is no small thing but it is so discounted and taken for granted in our society.

I know you will continue to honor him not only with your words and your thoughts, but with the way you live *your* life – as a husband, father and grandfather. Surely that gave him great satisfaction while he was with us, and will continue to in the days to come. Keep fighting the good fight, and my prayers are with you and your family.

Mr. Tramel,

Someone posted your article about your father on the OUinsiders website. Thank you for writing it. I just wanted to come over here and express my condolences for the loss of your father. However, it appears that you gained so much from him. My heart goes out to you and your family during this time.
