Bryan, Hadi, and Crossfire thanks for the kind thoughts. I picked up the remains (ashes) and his flag. I'll be machining a custom urn and presenting to my Mom in the near future.

PS: I still miss him badly

Carter sorry for the loss. I will bet the urn will be the greatest part you will
make just from all the heart that go in to it. You need to talk or anything I'm just a
call away or even just down the road if you need to grab a drink just to get of the house or town. Hang in there buddie you'll never forget all the good thing he did for you so he will live on in heart and memory.

Yes I agree with Russ this will be built from the heart and I am sure it will be fantastic.

My Dad wanted his ashes to be spread around. So my Mom kept 1/4 of them and spread them around special places in Illinois and took some south to Marco Island in Florida and did the same down there.

She gave each of us three sons 1/4 each as well with the same instructions.

It was an easy choice for me to decide on since the river and Chain of Lakes I live on were a favorite spot for my parents to come out boating on with their powerboats over the years.

Many times I think of my Dad when I take my boat out for a ride on the river and the lakes. It is a nice way to remember him and the great times we all had over the years on this waterway.

My Dad's real love was for his Sailboat he kept down in Florida at Marco Island right outside the condo called Stevens Landing at the pier dock always ready for an adventure. Here are some pics of his 25' pride and joy named "The Sandpiper" and the Condo.







Maybe when you feel like it you can tell us a bit about your Dad and what his passions were someday. I think it is good therapy to tell about the lives of those who we loved and are our heroes.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I lost my father at age 43 and I was just out of high school. Cherish the memories wither few or many, may they comfort your heart and but a smile on your face.
