The Old Man
It is with a heavy heart that I am breaking into my dad's blog today. After a brief fight with lung cancer, my dad has lost. He loved this blog, and sharing his thoughts and feelings with his friends in the virtual world.
I am also very sorry for your loss, his blog brightened many of my days. All his readers will miss him. May God hold you and your family in his hands during this time of trial
My prayers go out to him, and you. He gave us many days of smiles and laughs. You should know he spread joy to perhaps hundreds of thousands. God be with you.
I am so sorry for your loss, and thank you for letting us know. This blog has been a favorite for me for a long time. He will be missed here as I am sure he will be in life.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I enjoyed his blog very much. I can empathize with you as I lost my wife to cancer. It is a terrible and ugly disease. My father was a Vietnam vet and I lost him to cancer as well. My best wishes to you and your family.
Darn! I enjoyed The Old Man and enjoyed trading memes and stealing from each other. He will be missed and my condolences and share your sadness. I too thought something was up like this since he missed a few days of posting.
Godspeed, Farewell, and Rest Easy, Good Sir. You will be sorely missed by more folks than you realize. May God's Comfort bring some measure of His Peace to the Family...including his followers.
God speed, Dad. Your blog was a daily staple and I much appreciated your efforts. I offer my saddest condolences to your family. I hope that they find solace in the days ahead. Farewell, Good Sir. You will be missed.
Oh my stars, I am so sorry to hear this! My sincerest condolences, we used to swap memes back and forth. Rest In Peace and may God comfort you in your time of loss. Phil.
I started every day with his blog and was concerned when so many days went by without a post. There are plenty of similar blogs, but I especially liked his take on things. Condolences to his loved ones.
My condolences on your families loss. May he join up with brothers in arms and have a cold one. His blog and memes will be missed because they told a story that the media would not tell but with humor.
I am so sorry for your loss. I started every day with his blog. It was a funny, pithy look at the world and I often found myself laughing, biting my tongue, or rolling my eyes - sometimes all three.
Condolences to you and yours on the loss of your 'Old Man"....loved and looked forward tohis daily posts...I'm sure he wasa great man and will be sorely missed by his family,friends and his many fans
I prefer to believe he fought cancer to a draw. Your dad made a difference to me. He encouraged me, made me laugh out loud, made me think and reflect. I'm glad I got to see into his soul a little with what he posted.
Thank you for letting me know. I will pray for you and yours... to remember the good and celebrate his life. I'll raise a glass to him at sundown.
My deepest condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father. His blog will be missed, as it was a daily read for me. I am very grateful for the laughs and observations. He often made my day. I give thanks to God for his time among us. I pray that you will find comfort in knowing your dad did make this world a better place and we, his readers are the better for his contributions. I will raise a beer in his honor and memory. RIP.
I too have enjoyed your dad’s perspective on life. It’s ok to grieve but make it short. You know he would not want you to live in the shadow of his passing for long.
I am so sorry to learn of his passing. One of his gifts to this world was making 1,000's laugh by shining a bright light on the absurdity of our time. While I never met him, I greatly appreciated his dedication to that gift. My deepest condolences to your family.
I'll miss the usual chuckles I have been enjoying daily clickin' in to DDP ... My condolences to family , friends and fellow bloggers who regularly stopped by ...
Fellow VN Veteran. Fellow motorcycle rider. Fellow Constitution lover. We met and spent the day together at the Air Force Museum pre-Covid. I thoroughly enjoyed his company. And all our lives are diminished by his loss. Thank you E for sending me the text.
I have been checking the block every day, as was my custom. When I saw that the memes were not changing, I just assumed that a vacation explained it. Finally, today, I read the announcement. I was, of course, saddened to read the news.
My condolences to the entire family. I wish him fair winds and following seas.
I just now saw this post. I am sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace and may your family take some comfort in knowing he shared a little part of the world with a wide range of people here in America.
SO sorry to hear of your loss. Didnt get the time to come here daily but looked forward to the times I did visit. Loved his sense of humor and common sense shown by his choice of what he posted. Has anyone found another site like this for the same type comment?
I'm very sorry for your loss. Like many commenters above, I really enjoyed your father's blog and came here often for a word of wisdom or a funny meme. He brightened the lives of thousands of people with it and will be missed.

Condolences to all
ReplyDeleteGodspeed to your Dad, he was a soul full of light in a time of darkness!
ReplyDeleteAn ode to passing and to new life from an old tune recorded way back when I was a young man follows below:
“And on the day I said good bye
My, my drowning tear catches the light
Like the gift of sight
The baby's eyes
Darkness into light
I can rest my soul in the light
I'm positively, Spring time
The gift of sight
The baby's eyes
Darkness to light
The gift of life
The baby's eyes
Darkness to light
The gift of life
The baby's eyes
Baby’s eyes
