My father also wrote
poems, many of which were published in local papers in New Hampshire and Maine when he flew for SAC in the late 1950s and early 1960s (we were stationed at Pease AFB).

Very sorry for your loss. May your Dad rest in peace, and be in Heaven today with our Lord, and may he comfort your family, today and always.
I started reading through your father's diary, and recognized several of the places from my brother's letters. I appreciate you sharing it with us.

I lost my father about two years ago. I am still not over it. I think it’s getting worse, actually.
May God comfort you.
