My dad

[akarunway 1]

Just got a call. My father Col. William J. Quinn USAF Ret. died. IN JUNE. Fucking home health care nurse he married and gave EVERYTHING to never bothered to notify any family. I'm gonna go on a rampage tomorrow. Anybody know any PI's in the Central Fla area? I'm still in So. Cal. Gonna be a long week

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

That's just wrong. I'm assuming there was no unrest in the family other than the nurse?

You haven't called or tried to get in touch with your dad since at least June?... None of your family did?


And shouldn't he leave his stuff to whomever he pleases?

I usually only talk to my dad once every few months. We still have a great relationship, but when you have a highly scattered family it is difficult to stay in touch all the time. And even though we don't talk very often, I would expect his wife to call me immediately if anything ever happened to him (as I'm sure she would)...

I don't know akarunway's situation... just wanted to point out that not speaking since June doesn't necessarily mean that no one cared... I care a lot about my dad; we're just not very good about keeping in touch.

And akarunway: I'm very sorry to hear about your dad.

What she said. One of my brothers lives in Brazil and isn't into phone calls on a regular basis, or answering emails all the time. So I might go a couple of months without following up. But his wife would let us know immediately if something were to happen, as he would if something were to happen to her (in fact, when she was the survivor, with no injuries, of a fatal car crash, we heard about it immediately).

No matter the relationship, it's pretty awful not to let folks know when a direct relative like that died, unless it's with specific instructions (which I doubt).

I'm really sorry about your dad, Akarunway. I hope his passing was easy and peaceful.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Thanks guys/girls. The COL. was pretty hardcore as you can imagine. When I started skydivong his response was " What, you haven't pulled at 300' yet". So I went and did a BASE jump. LOL. Still couldn't make him happy. Guess he gave up when he couldn't fly fighter jets anymore. Moral of the story is try to keep in touch w/ family I reckon

sorry Keely,
I have to disagree. I have family scattered in all parts of the U.S. I keep in touch weekly.

I don't assume to know anything about this situation, but it seems sad if you didnt know your
father had passed away 3-4 months ago.

I hope everything works out

I guess everyone is different. That's just the way my relationship is with my dad... doesn't mean we care about each other any less though.

I'm sorry about your Dad. Regardless what anyone thinks, I find it deplorable that his wife did not let his family know about his death. Has anyone ever checked into her background? (I realize they were married) I ask this because my niece's grandmother was 'scammed' by her nurse. The state finally did get her on charges, but by then most of the possessions were gone.

This situation is so sad. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My family is very close-knit, so we all try to visit or talk frequently. However, everyone is different regarding how often they call or visit with their parents/family, so I am not going to judge you or anyone else. Right now, you need understanding and support for all that you must be going through.

I just feel really badly for you and for your loss, Kevin. Try to hang in there. ((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))
