I buried my dad on March 4th , he was a good man. He was the type of person who did for himself. He got by on his wits and his intellect. We buried him in Arlington National Cemetery in the columbarium overlooking the Pentagon. I think he will be happy there amongst his fellow servicemen.
My dad was a true American hero; he fought hard for everything he had in his life. Finally, he fought valiantly for life itself, but ultimately he had to surrender. I had never seen my dad surrender to anything, so I know that he welcomed death in the end.
My dad was a scholar he cared a great deal about the truth: historical, theological, and personal truth. One of his favorite saying was “To thine own self be true.”
I think that my greatest regret is that I did not know him as well as I would have liked to have known him. My dad was always off somewhere teaching, or lecturing. I used to think that he didn’t care about me at all. I came to realize, though, that everything he did he did for me. Ain’t that a kick in the head? We don’t seem to realize what we had until it’s gone. I will miss my dad; the arguments, the friendship; his very presence. God knows he has received a good soul. May he rest in Peace. Peace and Long Life
Love Worf
