Pass on my condolences to the rest of the family.

I'm sorry for your loss. You never really get over something like that, you just get used to the way it feels. I thinks it's supposed to be that way.

Sorry for your loss, you will be in our thoughts as well. Could not and do not want to imagine what it will be like when my father passes. He is still relatively young at 56, and I hope to have him around for a little while longer. He is supposed to help me sometime this weekend in cleaning out the gear box of a tiller. I could probably do it myself, but its been awhile since I worked on any projects with him. Hope the turbulence settles down quickly.
Sorry for your loss Tim. My dad just turned 89 and still holding up pretty well. I think I will call him tonite...

Honor his memory by using what he taught you, and teaching others from his knowledge.

Sorry to hear it. I'm going to miss mine when he's gone. Going to try to spend a little extra time with him this summer. Not that he's at any risk of anything, it's just been a long time since I've been able to.

I'm sorry.
Best thing that happened to me when I was 40 was the realization that I could spend more time with my Dad. We had 10 great years together.

To answer you Brad, he was 83. In good health until the other day. He took NO medication even. He got bronchitis. All of the coughing led to an erratic rhythm in his heart. They worried about blood clotting, so they gave him blood thinners. They didn't know that he had ruptured vessles in his abdomen from coughing. He started bleeding internally, and they never were able to stop it.
I fired up his MS 180 today, and cleaned up a branch that had blown down this winter. Looks like I'm in for alot of long trips. Just don't see how my mom can maintain 10 acres and the house.

I'm so sorry Tim. Memory Eternal.
Both a blessing and a curse. Your Dad enjoyed great health right to the end, but took you by surprise when he left. What city is your Mom in? Maybe some of us here could be on standby in times of need.

My dad passed in February after a long bout with cancer. SOme of my fondest memories are when we would go cut the winter's wood for granny. Usually had an uncle or two, and the odd cousin along as well. Dad would swing that Mac 2-10 like a Japanese chef wields a Ginsu knife, and with the same dexterity and efficiency. Of course I'd be pulling branches and feeding poles to be cut to size. Made a pretty good team, and always had the biggest pile out of all of em.
I'm sure you have similar memories-- hold them close, and pops will never be far away.

So sorry to hear about your dad passing, I can't even imagine it right now. Hurts to even think about it.
