    I lost my Dad a week ago this morning.....and I owe more thanks to that special man than could possibly be captured here. He taught me so much about life, how to enjoy it, how to work and play with passion, and he was the one who inspired my love of old cars. I'll miss you Dad, but rest assured you will never be forgotten.

    Here's one of his favourite pictures, in the middle of the shop, dressed up as usual.....and thoroughly in his element.

    Thanks for listening....it all helps.

  15. Very sorry to hear. At least you had a good dad.

    If my son says the same things about me when I'm gone, then I did my job right.

    Sorry for your loss. I lost mine back in 1999. A week before Fathers Day. I still miss him, but I really miss him when I'm working on or driving my hot rod. He was too busy raising a family to ever build his. Shit always got in the way. I always imagine what his reaction would have been seeing my T Bucket and helping me work on it.

    You guys with dads still around, give your old man a hand shake or a phone call. He's probably the coolest guy you'll ever know.
     
  19. Sorry about your dad . Lost my 92 year old father this year and the hard part is thinking I will call him and then remembering you cant . Hang in there.

    Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad 3 years ago this coming August. As time goes on the pain will lessen but never go away. The memories of your Dad will always be with you. Cherish them, and remember you have the opportunity to take everything he taught you and share it with your children as best you can. This will make your father very proud.

    BillyM. Very sorry for your loss but do feel blessed that you had a great man in your life. I lost my Dad 10 years ago next month and not a day goes by that I don't get a chuckle, an "I'll ask Dad" or feel his stare from across the room when I'm doing something he would have liked or disliked :) Godspeed friend and know that the pain will fade and the joyful memories will pop-up often.

    So very sorry for the loss of your Dad. But he really is still here, he is part of you and left with you the lessons and memories you still have. Those parts can't be taken away from you.

    Any time a Son or Daughter comes on and says how much they miss their lost loved one it only proves how great that person must have been to leave that much love inside their child and other loved ones.

  28. Prayers for your family as they move through this trial of life. He will never be gone if he lives on in your heart.
     
  29. Sorry for your loss!

    Sorry to hear about your Dad, I know how you feel, I lost my Dad five years ago. I can tell you it will get easier and you'll smile every time you think of him.
