Dad: October 18, 1923 - November 24, 2005

My dad died today of a heart attack. He used to like the poem "The House by the Side of the Road" by Sam Walter Foss. Here's part of it:
Let me live in a house by the side of the roadGoodbye dad.
Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat
Nor hurl the cynic's ban-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
