Mary (2beacons) Meyer's father, Mr. Paul Danielson, 88, passed away last evening.

Here is the story how Mary and I met.

A few years ago, I had submitted a classified ad in a national collectibles magazine for HL lighthouses for sale. On a Saturday evening, I received a phone call regarding my ad. After some conversation, we exchanged names/addresses. What a strange coincidence! Her father, and my husband's father, went to school together (in the 1930's), graduated together, and hunted for years together. Their birthdays were 5 days apart.

In the years that followed, these two men kept in contact with each other thru hunting activities, and friendship. Even tho hundreds of miles separated their lifestyles. 2beacons and my husband remember seeing each other in their childhood during visits with their fathers.

The two family connection is still visible today with the next generation thru the love of lighthouses!

Herm's dad passed away three years ago this past 4th of July, and the two buddies are now "hunting again" in heaven.

May God be watching over Mary and Jeff in the days to follow!

Sincerely,

Mary & Herm

Mary and Jeff, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I am sure that he was a loving man knowing you, Mary. Your father enjoyed a full life and what a honor to have a friend for so many years.

Mary and Jeff we wish you well during this difficult time. I know what you're going through Mary...my dad also passed away this year. He was only 73. When I was younger, that seemed pretty old. The older I have gotten, the younger my dad seemed to be passing away too soon. frown

Mary & Jeff,

I'd like to add my condolences. I agree with the others- focus on the good times and the long life he enjoyed. It will help a little.

We went through the same thing in July with my Mother-In-Law passing away. She was 90 years young.

To all of our friends on the forums:

Thank you very much for the condolences regarding the death of my father. It is very hard to say good-bye to your parent even though I know he is in a much better place. He has waited 40 years to see my mother again and I am sure he is smiling now.

This year has brought the passing of both my father and Jeff's mother. So we are now the head of the family in regards to the generations.

It is a great feeling to have such great friends from all over the country. Take care and again thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Mary and Jeff
