I post more about as often as it takes Mercury to complete a orbit of
the sun, but at least I admit it. There has been a lot going on since my
last post, and this summer was a heavy one for sure.
I lost my father, Gary Petorak, on September 15, at age 69. It's hard
to know I can't call him anymore, and I know he enjoyed his calls to me
to ask how things were going. He loved his Nascar, and listening to
scanners to hear what was going on in the neighborhood. My family all
headed up to Tahoma National Cemetery, where he was given a Navy space
in the wall for his ashes. It was hard to be there and see everything,
but it was nice for us all to put things to rest and move on. I sure do
miss him a lot, but I know that he's happy to be where he is, and to
know that we all came together to make sure he lived and made a mark on
our lives.
Here is a link to his memorial page:

Take care all, and don't forget to tell your father you love them as
often as you can.
