"I do not grieve like men with no hope, and I don't say goodbye, but 'see you in a while' instead. As he told me over and over in my life, especially the last few years, 'Al, the resurrection looms larger every day for us all.' Indeed it does Dad, indeed it does." -Al Robertson

In a statement shared with CBN News, Al Robertson—whose family rose to fame in 2012, when their hit reality show "Duck Dynasty" premiered on A&E—reflected on his father's profound influence in his life.

"Well, it has finally happened," he wrote. "The man that raised me, trained and disciplined me, accepted me, loved me and partnered with me in sharing the Gospel of Jesus has left this life and crossed over to await the Great Resurrection."

Rather than lament, Robertson expressed gratitude and hope, appealing to his Christian faith to process the tragic loss with which the family is coping.

"I feel joyful, and even relieved, that he no longer suffers from a terrible, mind destroying disease known as Alzheimer's," Robertson continued. "I am also humbled to keep his legacy going to reach as many people as possible with the saving grace of Jesus Christ's coming to earth, death, burial, resurrection and ascension."...
