To keep my mind occupied I have monitored this board and this thread from time to time today.
After reading some of the other threads, and having read the posts in this thread, I do not see what my father found to be hilarious about this message board. Some of you people are just jerks.
To those that doubt that my father is dead, then so be it. To those that have expressed condolences, once again I thank you.
To those of you that offered to contribute to my fathers foundation, thanks, but the foundation cannot legally accept contributions. I do not understand the legalities involved and I do not have any connection to the foundation. The head of the board is a retired Colonel, who was a very close friend of my father.
Some of you have commented about my style of writing. My father taught me, when I was in grade school, to double space and to be as consise as possible, for reasons of clarity. In addition I spent eight years in the military myself (Army and Marines). And though I did not have a military career, I am almost as military in character as he was, because he raised us.
Some of you do not like my form of grieving. I will repeat my father has had several strokes in the past few years and the doctor had told him that a major stroke was inevitable. He also taught all of us to try and control emotions, so his brood is a pretty tough group.
After an autopsy is completed we will fly his body to his home town where he will be cremated and a select group of friends and family will attend a memorial service. At my first opportunity, I will keep his wishes and spread his ashes in Korea.
I am employed by a Community College and school just recently started, so I probably will not go to Korea until mid-term break.
Once again to all of those that have expressed condolences, I thank you.
This will be my last post to this board.
