Sorry to hear of your father's passing. It's great you could be with him
at this
time, though. I never had a chance to see my Dad off, make my peace, and
believe
I am the poorer for it.

Ditto here, on both counts.

Your post was poetic and poignant, Ken. My condolences, as lame as that
always sounds. Sorry for your loss, and I hope the rest of the family has
something as soul-centering as flycasting to help them through.
