Col. McLaughlin was my second father when we lived on Guam.  Patricia and I felt he was bigger than life.   He would get up early and do his calisthenics. A very dear and quiet man.  

Dear Mary, Your Dad sounds like an amazing man. I wish I had known him, but I see a wonderful reflection of him in you each day.  I'm sorry for your loss.  My families prayers are with you all.

Dear Mary, I feel for your loss and I know (through knowing you) that your father left the world a better place than he found it.

Mary and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I love the stories you tell about your father. You make him a bigger than life personality. I would have loved to have heard some of his retellings of books--they might have been better than the books themselves. He seemed a very interesting and intelligent man, one I would have like to have known.  My thoughts are with you.

Dear Mary,
I am so very sorry for your loss.  I always loved hearing you tell stories about your dad these past few years. I wish I could have met him!  It sounds like he was such a fascinating person. I know this is a terribly difficult time for you and your whole family.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  I know your memories of your dad and your love for him will sustain you.  Much love and a big hug from me, my friend!

Dear Mary, I am thinking of you and your family as you remember your dad's remarkable life.

Dear Mary,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Grandpa was my and still is my hero and inspiration.
