A great man passed

nhboyd · Nov 10, 2012

He was family man, a marine veteran. He raised his family on a small farm in western Montana. A herd of cows a few chickens. Put up enough hay to feed the cows using mostly John Deere equipment. Worked several jobs off the farm. Didn't have a lot of time to go fishing, hunting or camping, but did some. Had a wife for 62 years and 6 kids. Passed Nov. 9, 2012. He was My Dad.

nhboyd,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like your dad was the kind of man that we need many more of today.

May the Lord bless you with peace in your heart during this difficult time.

Back when your dad was a young boy, his folks probably worked from sunup to sundown. Now that was all he knew. Them kind of dads is what made this country great. Sorry about your loss. May God Bless your family.

I hope we will see more men just like your father in the coming years. I fear for what this nation will become without men like your father to preserve it as the greatest nation in the world.
My sincere condolences on the passing of your father. May you and your family find strength from God during this sad time.

So sorry about your Dad's passing. I can't imagine how hard that must be. He sounds like
a great man. If you have a chance, go to You Tube and look up Paul Harvey's tribute called "So God Made a Farmer". I think you will find it describes great men such as your Dad. God Bless.

So sorry for your loss. He indeed worked hard and his family was his top priority. Not many left today that fit that bill. You can be proud he was the caring man that you so fondly remember. God bless you and your family for having such a dedicated father and husband.

NHBOYD,

Your Father represents what made America great, and won 2 World Wars. His memory will live on in your character, work ethic, and family values which sadly are lost on today's society, in these seemingly uneasy political times, which are more concerned with entitlements, legalizing marijuana, and alternative lifestyles.
May God Bless you and Keep You and your family, And may He Bless the USA, in the coming years.
