My best friend and shooting buddy called while I was out to say his Dad died today. He has been fighting valiantly against a bunch of illnesses these last 2 years and finally gave up the fight today.
He was my "adopted father" these last 27 years since my Dad died long ago.
Robert W. Whitsell was a WWII fighter bomber pilot who flew 93 missions in the Pacific. He was the kind of man I think we would all like for a father.
I wish I had been home when my buddy called. I will end up going down to the city to spend time with him during this painful time.
If you are of a mind to, say a prayer for the family of this veteran and father. He is among the last of a great generation.
