Matt, my dad's profile was very similar to the one you've described. Orphan, US Navy vet, and mentor in the most important things. For years you will catch yourself thinking "I'll have to ask Dad about that..." But that's OK because with each passing year you will realize you are richer than most will ever realize.
As an adult, I asked him one time, "How can I ever pay you back?"
He just gave me a big smile and said "Pass it on to your kids--that's all I would ever want."
You can do the same--even if it's not your kid!
