Something was telling me to make a post on Dad’s blog. Tomorrow it will be only 3 weeks since Dad passed from the earth’s fading scene and into eternity. I think we’re still in a daze since it happen so fast. We miss him but are thankful for his long life and that he did not have to suffer. He is an inspiration to everyone to keep active and continue learning new things as we age. He meant so much to us so it is hard for us to lose him.
At the Silent Keyboards website a friend wrote a tribute to Dad. You can see it here:
And I learned about more tributes to Dad:

Many thanks for your mail and comments expressing your condolences. We appreciate it very much.
Dad loved pictures of sky above. I saw this picture today and posted it because I knew Dad would like it.
One more thing that you might enjoy. When I was with him on Friday before his death, I told him I needed him to autograph some of his books for me. He nodded and said, “It’s rough being famous.” That got a good laugh from all of us.
Someone told us that Dad was like the man Seraiah mentioned in Jeremiah 51:59 (KJV) who was referred to as a “quiet prince.”

I was wondering if Dad's book can still be purchase and if so how one might go about buying it.
I'm also wondering if you blog Jim. I'd like to check in from time to time and see how you and Mary are doing.
Thanks for the entry you made here!
I'm sure your dad's sense of humor contributed to his good, long life. And how wonderful to be "famous" for encouraging people to smile, demonstrate kindness, and appreciate the simple things in life, like a beautiful blue sky.
I surely do appreciate the update from you. Your Dad started my day off and I miss that for sure. I love the picture of the sky. He certainly kept active and made the most he could of each day. Always said time is so precious - don't waste it and I try to follow that good advice.
Just to pop here and see Dads picture again is so uplifting.He surely was an inspiration.Thankyou for posting about Dad.I realy enjoyed your delightful words today.Have a lovely day.Take Care God Bless Kath xx
Thank you, Jim for this lovely post. The beautiful sky and a bit of DAD's humor made me smile. I thought of DAD yesterday, 3700 lanterns were floated out to sea in remembrances of those who had dies this year. It is originally a Buddhist ceremony, but in Hawaii it is celebrated by all people.

So nice of you make a post on DAD's blog. So many of us miss our morning lesson and smiles over a cup of x-bold coffee with dear DAD. He continues to inspire. He saw beauty all around him and he wanted us to look around and see it as well. He wanted us to spread his smile to help others have a better day. His actions were contagious. I am a better person today because of DAD.
Sara is my daughter. She had a special relationship with DAD and on hearing of his death, she too posted a tribute to DAD.

There will be tomatoes in heaven and on earth as DAD's tomato plants are growing, growing, growing. In memory of DAD I will attempt to grow 4 cherry tomato plants. I hope to have enough to give to friends with a smile.
Beautiful tributes, expressing all of our thoughts, I'm sure, as all around the world, we miss Dad.
If there was ever a person who embodied "walking the talk" of a spiritual life well lived, it was surely Dad.
Ongoing *PRAYERS* for his family, and for all of his friends worldwide. Surely he is with his beloved, in the Presence, in which we can all take comfort.
