Had to just type it out again somewhere guys. My dad died this morning while getting prepped for surgery. I was able to talk with him when he was admitted and tell him I loved him and how much he meant to me. He told me the same and despite the doctors best interests, his heart couldnt take it. At approx 4:45 a.m. he drew his last breath. My dad and I were as close as we could be. He had a few old cars and I though it was so damn cool when I put some old caps on my 60 Olds and my dad was so happy to see that they were the same caps he put on his 46 Ford. He was a character and there are few like him. I am just wrecked. Make sure you tell the people you love that you care before they are gone.
Sorry to hear, I lost my dad about a year and a half ago. Still miss him. My prayers to you and yours. Kettleman
Sorry to hear of your loss. Little comfort in any words I say, just cherish the memories and make him proud
3 years ago my dad went in for minor surgery and his heart gave out. I too was in the prep room with him before surgery...I thinks it helps to have had that opportunity to say good bye. I know that there are no words of comfort that will help now. My prayers and good thoughts go out to you and your family. Ron.
Wow! Hard day, man.... I lost my dad who was my hero just 3 years ago also. Not a hot rodder but a great artist and a WWII Vet God rest their souls. Grieve it up, dude - it makes mov'n on easier. Did not know your dad, but if he was like mine he wanted me to do what I needed to do and get on with my life to continue the example for my little guy. Hang in there, man.... All of us who are posting got your back here. Right folks?
Deeply sorry to hear of your loss. I cant imagine how tough a time this must be. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Brother, my deepest condolences, Im glad you were there for your Pop, We'll say a prayer for you and yours. I know of your sadness. It is all part of Gods plan, you'll see him again soon enough.
My condolences to you and your father's family. From the way you speak of him it sounds like he'll always be with you in some way.
Sorry to hear of your loss. I was never very close to my Dad. I can only appreciate how close you and your Dad were. Our family says a prayer for your loss. 41 Dave
Sorry to hear that, I went thru the same thing last week with my father in law, he p***ed away, his heart gave out.
I'll echo everyone else here... my condolences to you and yours. I just hope I'm able to be close to my dad when his time comes.
sorry for your loss man...my pops went kinda the same way..but my dad p***ed after his surgery...inthe recovery room..tough times my prayers are sent to ya and your family
Sorry man, I don't even wanna think of that day. Dad and I are 650 miles apart, but we talk more now, since I'm building an old truck, than we ever did in my 27 years of ridin' scooters. GodSpeed to you, bro. Guess we all will get our turn in the barrel. RIP Joe's dad.
Never news you want to hear. I hope you can find some kind of comfort to help you cope. I hope that might be here to at least try and take your mind off things. My condolences.
In a day when so many rot away in old folks home without family caring about them your father was lucky know that you loved him.
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I can not even imagine the pain you are going thru. I'm so sorry. My Dad and I are very close, we live 5 houses apart and are car pals. It's hard to imagine the day I will not have him here.
