I've started taking my Dad to Muscle car Masters for Fathers Days, we never did do much together when I was a kid so I'm trying to make up for it now.

Very sad day..
Keep the memories and remember the wise stories he no doubt talked to you about..
Yes mine passed 9 years ago and when something happens here.
I go to the phone to ring him then realize he isn't around..

He passed good genes onto you which would make you very proud..

Sorry to hear that mate, I lost my old man 4 years ago now i still think of him all the time and the only real thing that helped was when my son was born about 18 months after his passing I named my son after him and I swear its bizarre but he is almost 3 now and has so many of my old mans mannerisms.

All the best mate, you will get through this.

Condolences mate. Once a parent is gone life is not the same.

I received more bad news this morning from George (Ruger), his father (Gary) passed away Wednesday afternoon.
