Sorry...... I'm glad you had time with him and enjoyed the same interests...There will never be a day you won't miss him.. my prayers are with you and your family...
Damn!- So sorry for your loss. Sounds like your Pop was a great Hot Rodder, teacher and an even better Dad. There are better times ahead honouring his memory and the many contributions he made to you and your family May he Rest In Peace.
My condolences on the loss of your dad. The good news is that you have great memories to reflect on. As time goes on it gets easier but from what I experience, even after 30 years I still miss my dad. Think how sad it would be if it didn’t affect you.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Great dads are a special thing. Sounds like he was a big part of your life and his legacy will continue to be a inspiration to your family.
Man, this sucks, I lot's my Pops to Cancer in 2008. May God Bless your family and bring you Grace and Peace as he does for me.

God bless you and the family. RIP , lots of hot rod people for him to share his stories with in heaven. Sent from my iPad using H.A.M.B.
Sucks, man! But you got to spend time with him! I spent time with me Dad, lost him7 years ago. It’s tough! Bones
Sorry for your loss. I can tell your Dad did the right thing, since you miss him so much. Your memories will be what carries you through it, and there will be times you will cry just 'cause it hits you. That's the way it's supposed to be when two people love each as much as you obviously did. Don't know if you have kids of your own, but they are part of your legacy now. Love the memories and cherish every day.
sorry for your loss man...my dad passed away 8 years ago tomorrow ...I really miss him and I'm sure you will miss your dad as well. enjoy the memories as I think about my dad all the time and everything he taught me...keep his legacy alive!
So sorry for your loss. Please remember all the great times you had together. I lost my father when I was 20 & missed out on so much with him. Trying to hang around for my kids. Condolences.
Sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was a good man, and a better father. I lost mine in 1995. I talk to him often, and wish I had his opinion on things in my life today. I still think about that just about every day.
Tough day for sure! Pop and I didn’t have a common hobby, but there are not many days that I don’t think about him ( been gone since’98). The Good memories Will overcome the sadness, but for now rest assured that you are not alone in your grief. All the Best, Carp.
It takes time to heal the heart break for you and your family & friends, your dad made a indelible mark and he will be remembered for being a good man, HRP
Condolences to you and your whole family. Sounds like you had a great relationship with your Dad, and many great memories. That's going to help A LOT! Thanks for sharing some of those good memories with us as well as the sadness at hand.
May God comfort you and your family with His unlimited love. Cherish those sweet memories, and make some new ones for those coming after you.
Sincere sympathy goes out to you, and all of his Family and friends - great write up about him - just lost a second Cousin who was 99 - can never forget our time together
We spread out ashes this weekend for one of my wife’s grandmothers. Life gets real sometimes. Treasure the memories Love the ones you still have near you.
My condolences. I lost my Dad 20 years ago at 67 from cancer, so I know how you feel. Still miss my Dad every day.
I lost my Dad when I was 6. Took me a few years to finally accept that he wasn't coming back. Glad you were able to have a good life with yours.
Greener, Blessings. Will look for the 35’ in Burlington, and say hello. Chin up sir. Dad sounded like a true American for sure. Stretch
Sad to hear that, my condolences to you & your family. Good to hear that you had quality time with your pops ,those are the best times ever. Nothing finer than cruising or working on an old ford with your dad.
@greener200 the tribute to your Dad shows all of us what a great man he was and the road trips and events you attended together will make for wonderful memories. May he Rest In Peace.
Sorry for your loss. It sounds like he was a hell of a guy. Lost my Dad 3 years ago. Like you we had a great relationship. Cherish the memories. There won't be a day that goes by that you don't think of him in some way or another.
