Dad lost his battle
My Dad, Donald D Kirk, lost his battle with lung cancer last night at the age of 77. I'm very proud of my dad's accomplishments and most of all, the 31 years he spent in the US Navy. He was a sailor aboard many aircraft carriers including the USS Kitty Hawk, USS Constellation, and the USS Tarawa, which he commissioned new in 1976. My dad retired an E9, Master Chief in 1980. I love and miss you dad!!!!!

I am very sorry
Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I'm so sorry. What a hero he was!
Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.
