Thank you all for your warm words, thoughts, and prayers


Aug 26, 2011, 2:57 PM

Last week I mentioned that my dad, a member of the class of 69, passed after a battle with cancer.

It has been a tough, but joyous few weeks as we celebrated his life, enjoyed the warm memories, and mourned the loss of this wonderful man. We held his services last week in Columbia where he lived and the he was laid to rest in Charleston which he always considered his home town.

Thanks so much for all of the warm words last week, as well as the thoughts and prayers during this time.



After his service we had a reception in the form of one of his most favorite places on Earth. We held an old fashioned Clemson tailgate and celebrated his life and one of his greatest passions. Of course, we had his seat sitting in his honor.


He then took his last of many trips to Charleston. Complete with the ever-present Clemson magnet on his vehicle.


The Air Force honor guard carried out his burial with honors. It was such a touching moment to see fellow Air Force members pay their respects to a man who devoted much of his life to the service.


Then began the hard work of going through some of his things. My sister and I were helping my mom go through the books and other items he had left on his bedside table when we found the following note he had written and presumably left for us. What a message to leave behind for his family.


Thanks again for all the warm thoughts and prayers.
