Great article! And your dad was an awesome guy! I always enjoyed talking to him.

Thank you for sharing. As a guy who also had a lineman dad from NJ who passed on from cancer ~7 years ago this really connected. I definitely agree what we reminisce about can be very strange.

I want to completely validate this digital pilgrimage. You have distinct memories of this spot and its environs for a reason anyone could understand. It's great that you're actually able to revisit it, even lonely on the map. Not everyone can reconnect like that as time goes on.

Hello.

I wanted to tell you that your tribute to your dad is beautiful and heartfelt.

I am a father-gamer as well. My sons humiliate me on FC26. I do like to show them how I murder the computer on Battlesector, but they do not have much interest in W40K.

Your article made me think that I would like to leave a digital memoria for my kids to do a 'pilgrimage' to after I pass. Thank you for this.

May your father's memory be a blessing. He reads like the dad we all aspire to be.

I hope you keep writing and continue to share and memorialize his life.
