OMG, Stan - I am SO, SO sorry to read that you father's passed away!!!

At first, I only saw the two top pics, but upon scrolling down I realised it's you dad ... you must be devastated, I imagine ...?!!!! Well, if it's of any comfort - at least now he no longer will have to suffer any more. Also, he DID have a long life and, most importantly, he served his country at a crucial moment!

My thoughts are with you, Stan!
