My step-sons' grandfather passed away today.
JD was a kind, honest, hard working man. He was a father figure of extraordinary maturity and wisdom to my step-sons and his other grandchildren. He and his marvelous wife Judy have always treated Caryn and myself as nothing less than family.
He fought to protect his country with distinction, then came home and raised his family with the same level of love and dedication.
Many people are deeply saddened today, and the reason is simple -- JD touched a lot of lives in a very positive manner.
I'm forgoing a picture today in his memory.

Beautiful words in your tribute, Paul. Many condolences to you and of course to your step-son.
May the empty space left be filled with good memories and the love of family and friends.
