  1. Sorry to hear it. My thoughts are with you.

    Thought I lost mine last year, he had a close call and spent awhile in the hospital. Made me realize how close we are.

  10. Very sorry to hear about your Dad. He sounds alot like my own. I lost my Dad four years ago. Its a hard thing to go through and there isn't much anyone can say to make you feel better about it. I take comfort in knowing that my Dad isn't hurting anymore and is probably playing golf at this very moment. You and your Dad will be in my prayers.

    Thinking of you and your family.
    I lost my dad when he was 58.
    Every day, I use something he taught me.
    As HRLC said, he will be with you when you drive the tub.

    Can't say anything that hasn't already been said here,but I lost my dad 9 years ago,and I still miss him.He lived to be 86,but it's never long enough.Be glad you could be with him at the end.I remember driving home late from work one night,thinking about going by to see my mom and dad,and trying to justify not going to see them.I could get some good garage time in if I skipped the visit.Then "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin came on the radio.I listened to the words,turned the car around,and went to brighten up an old man and an old womans day.To those who still have their folks,remember.....they won't be around forever.....Sorry for your loss
     
  15. Sounds like you've got a lot of fond memories to keep you dad alive in your heart and mind. I lost my dad two years ago and hardly a day goes by that I think of him in some way when I'm doing something the way he taught me. He influensed your life a lot more than you realize now, but you'll become more aware as time goes on - and it will.

    Condolences to you and your family.

    Very sorry to hear that. Good Dads are really very special. I lost my Dad 3 years ago - he's the reason I'm into hot rods. I have all his tools and he engraved his initials on everyone - makes me feel good to use those tools. I wish he could have seen my a-bone running

    Sorry to hear about your dad's passing. There is a closeness in the car culture thing second to none, very similar to the racing fraternity. But when it's as close as your dad, the loss is immeasurable! If someone knocks at your door in the future talking about God, ask them if they have a brochure "When someone you love dies". I think you will find it to be most comforting. My dad and my brother both were car nuts. My dad, in his late 50's, had a 40 Ford 2 door sedan with an early Chrysler Hemi in it. He and my mom would come back from shopping and dad would always have a story about some kid he had left in the dust at a stop light! My brother loved cars and was both a dry lakes racer and drag racer. He too had a 40 Ford, but his was a coupe with a 314 cu.in Ford flathead (is that big or what!) and use to race out at the old Santa Ana drag strip back in the 50's. So when they both passed away, dad in 69 and my brother in 2001, it left a big gap in my life. But the brochure I mentioned above was very encouraging. Your dad sounds like even though he wasn't a builder, he was one heck of a nice guy who liked cars. Finish your T like you were building it for him.

    Man, my heart is with you. I know it's difficult, but it will get better...

    "Life is the but the Childhood of our Immortality."

    ...and to live in the hearts of those we leave behind,
    is never to die.

    I'll play "That's My Job" by Conway Twitty tonight in your honor, and extend a prayer to you and yours.

     
  28. My condolences to you and your family. I hope you have a bunch of good memories to keep you going. I know you'll catch yourself "talkin" to your dad now and then. When you're out in your shop. When you're driving your tub. When you're checkin' out a car you'd like to share with him. Best to you. Dave.
