A Friend's Loss

Don K · October 18, 2009, 09:36:04 PM

Terry Stewart (Radar67) left me a message today that his Stepfather John passed away this morning. He said he will be away from the forum for a few days. I for one am saddened by his passing as he was a colorful character full of amusing stories and had became a talented bowl turner and pen maker. My most memorable day with John was the day he stuck a D4 dozer in the creek and we had to get it out. What a day that was.

Terry, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know the days ahead will be trying, especially for your Mother. If there is anything Misty and me can do, don't hesitate to call on us.

Don

The bond with a step-parent, like that of a step-child can be as strong as that of a natural parent. I'm sorry for the loss, Terry. Cherish the memories.

:( :( Sorry to hear this, our prayers are with Terry and family..

Radar67 · October 21, 2009, 08:57:39 PM

Thanks to all for the prayers and thoughts. I will always remember John sitting on a bulldozer with the smile of a child on his face.

He lived a long, full life and made my mother happy for the last 20 years. We learned this week that he served in the Navy, aboard the USS Oriskany (CV/CVA-34) during the Korean War. He was laid to rest with military honors.

Thank you Don for making this post.

Pineywoods, I sure would like to have you build one of your flag cases for my mom. Send me a message and we will work out the details.

Terry

pineywoods · October 22, 2009, 06:45:44 PM

Terry, I'd feel honored to build a flag case. PM me an address, may take a few days, I'm kinda snowed under right now.

Radar67 · October 22, 2009, 07:42:16 PM

PM sent, and completely understand being behind.

Jim_Rogers · October 23, 2009, 03:07:48 AM

Terry,

It is hard to lose a family member. I just saw this post, and I am sorry to hear of your loss.

SwampDonkey · October 24, 2009, 04:14:23 AM

I was just to a funeral yesterday. Dad's cousin lost his wife, bad heart. Had open heart just a year ago. Had diabetes bad. She was a thin woman all her life.
