I think this about sums it up. I lost my dad, with whom I had a very similar relationship (next to my wife, he was my best friend), real suddenly two years ago next month. Hardly a day goes by I don’t think of him and wish I could talk to him again about something. At first, those thoughts and wishes were real painful; but now I welcome them. In that way, it’s like he’s still here. You’ve just got to muddle through, and it gets better. I’ll be honest, it took at least a year to get to the point I’m at now, and it’s still not easy. But you can do it. And there are a lot of people out here, whom you have never even met, but whose lives you’ve touched for the better just by giving them a few minutes every now and then to get away from the world and think about cool, fun stuff. We’re all pulling for you. Best wishes, Jay.
I am very sorry about your Dad - they are very special. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family.
I'm sure I speak for the whole Mattel family when I say I'm so sorry to hear about your dad passing. He sounds like he was a top guy. My thoughts are with you my friend. Felix.
I'm sorry to hear about you father, The people that care the most for us are usually our parents. I'll say a prayer for you man. He will live on in your heart, and spirit. I wish you the best.
Sorry for your loss Jay, my thoughts are with ya and your family. Be thankful for the good times you had together.
Jay , so sorry to hear this , your Dad was very special. When I met your Dad it was obvious you two had a real bond rooted in mutual respect! Your Dad was warm , friendly and a wealth of automotive knowledge. I have a very similar bond with my father. I really enjoyed the evening you and your Dad spent at my house in full gearhead mode.You will have a lifetime of wonderfull memories to help you through these tough times. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Ron
The universe works in a strange way, and we're not really meant to see the whole picture, but it does hurt sometimes. I read this just as my own father's been diagnosed with cancer, they're still conducting tests to see if they can find out where the tumor is, as the only symptom so far was a mass formed underneath the skin, so it's a fairly rare type. Let's see what comes of this, I've been trying not to take it too seriously as it's being followed from early on, but these things are never easy, are they? My condolences to you and yours... it's never easy to deal with that loss.
Very very sorry, Jay... My thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time. Nick Hoesing
Jay, you have been blessed to have had such a strong relationship with your dad. Those of us who do can say that they are very lucky and should cherish the time we have together. you have my condolences. Matt
The only testament to a good life is what we leave behind. Your father will live on, through you and your family. Those who go on before us, are once again leading the way. Godspeed MrC.
