Lt., you died performing an honorable service. You helped keep us safe for many years and that will not forgotten. The only consolation I could possibly think of...is that you died in the company of your son. However, I am greatly saddened by your son's, and your families, loss. I hope they will recover and remember that you were a shining light in a dark world. You were not here on this earth in vain. Death is only a transition to a greater existence. God Bless you.
