I'm so sorry to read this, my thoughts are with you and your family.
You told me many times, that you had a good and strong relationship with your dad, and that you had some good times in the garage together.
Memories that you will be happy having in the time to come.
Regards from Denmark.

Lost my dad less than 2 years ago. Miss him every day. He thought me the ways of life and how to be a good person. My dad slowly left us and was sick for the last 2 years. Never complained. I did get to say my good buys though. Still never easy. I feel your pain. May he rest in peace and it sounds like he did his job here on earth. Raised good kids and had a good life.

I think you wrote his eulogy. Beautiful reminiscence of what sounds like a great guy. A caring, strong man of character. You were very lucky. My Dad was and still is, a dick, thank God, for my Mom. Your family will always have your Dad there, because the lessons he taught you, the things he showed you and the way he raised you, will never go away.

Hi BC,
I'm sorry to read of your father's death.
I think it's quite a tribute to him that you were able to write such a fond remembrance of him and his effect on the lives of his wife and family.
It is usually later in life that we realize that what we are now was formed over a long period time many years before, by our parents.
May you find peace.
Regards,
Alan

B.C.,
Sorry to hear about your Dad. My Pop died on Valentine's day 2012. I think of something about him everyday, usually something funny he said or did. He's who made me a car guy as well.
He taught you well. We've done business in the past, and you've always been a stand-up dealer.
V-Day is coming up. Pop made sure we'd remember.
Funny how that happens, like they think you're gonna need help remembering...
My condolences to you and all your family. You'll be fine...

Sorry for your loss. From your writings it is obvious that he did a great job raising his kids and was equally a great man all around. He will be with you in every thing you do.

Tim, I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. It sounds like he was a heck of a guy that will be sorely missed. I'm sure you will make him proud in the years to come. Remember the good times.
I am sorry for your loss!
