I joined a club I don't want to be in. O/T

Yea, My Dad passed away last night. He was 91. We found out he had cancer pretty much everywhere a month ago and the Dr.s' gave him 12 months. He went fast (which was a relief) and didn't feel much pain. He was a hard charger (drinked/smoked) but cooled most of that as he got older. Worked as a machinest and I was told by his buddies at work that there was none better. Gave me the love of cars and all things mechanical. Smartest guy I've ever met. I miss him. Thanks for letting me rant. Mike

 

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you and your family.

I joined that same club in November of 2004
My Father was 83. Time does help ... but you NEVER forget and you NEVER not miss him. Every so often ... I just wish I could pick up the phone and call him ...

Condolences on your loss ...

 

im so sorry mike. if you need to vent i'd be happy to listen. if you need anything just let me know.

 

I'm sorry to hear that Irish Mike. I've been there for twelve years now, although I was'nt particularly close with my Dad.

 

Sorry for your loss. I joined that club in 1968- while in Nam. He was only 36- a machinist in the airline industry & waaay to young.

 

that's a sucky club.... hang in there!

 

Been there for 25 years now, but that day seams just like yesterday. Thoughts & prayers going out to you and your family.

 

Mike, You have good memories that will last the rest of your life.
Hold those memories close. You'll be OK...

 

Sorry for your loss, Mike.
I lost my real dad when I was 12. He was test pilot and pretty wild guy. One plane finally bit him. I worshipped him. My step-dad is not a car guy, an accountant and not even in the same reality as me. But he has been a great provider and loves my mom so thanks for reminding me to give him some slack.

 

Sorry for your loss Mike. My condolences.

 

Been in that club since 2001. Condolences.

He will never truly die as long as someone cares and remembers him.

This just breaks my heart,Mike! My dad's been gone since 05. We were close and he lived to 82. He had cancer and he was falling apart,so it was a blessing to see him not have to suffer anymore. 91 is a long life for a guy with your dad's habits. I feel for your loss buddy! See you soon...
BTW...it's a club that the roster keeps growing.

 

Dude, sorry to hear that

 

My condolences to you and your family. I can't even begin the imagine the pain.

 

Sorry for your loss . My condolences. I know the feeling but, he's still with me He's in my thoughts every day. Miss ya Pops.

 

I too understand, ....... I lost my Pops about 45 days before the 2007 HAMB Drags, then I lost my oldest son Cody in January 2008...... life is so very tough.
God Bless!

Sorry to hear you lost your Father.

 

Sucky club to be forced to join.
I've been a member for a long time now; lost my Dad at the young age of 51, my mother at 63.
I absolutely know how you feel and I hate that anyone has to go through it.
What gets me through it all is my cars. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be into these things. And if it wasn't for my mother I wouldn't be here today.
I love them both and dearly miss them. It will be a long rough road but never forget the memories you have shared and it should make it easier.

Stay strong my brother.

Sorry for your loss Mike. I lost my dad this February. Old time hot rodder who taught me everything I know, including a love for all things old Ford. I know what your going through. Every now and then I think "wait till I show Pop this", and realize I can't. My condolences bro.

 

It gets better, he'll never be gone in the memories you have, I lost dad July 4 1996 and Ma July 23, 1997 at 62 & 60.....Not a day passes that I don't think of both of them.....Trust in him, and fear nothing....

 

Sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I know how it feels. I lost both my Dad and Mom to pancreatic cancer. Dad, who was almost 70, in June of 1995 and Mom, who was almost 68, in August of 1996, only 14 months apart. A very weird deal that I suspect was from contaminated well water caused by the local city dump less than a mile away.
