Actually, it was July 2nd. I would've posted sooner but I've been dealing with things.

I'm not only posting this to tell you of his death but I would like to honor him by saying a few things about him.

He & my mom were married for 44 years. They were high school sweethearts. It wasn't always roses. In fact, I can remember quite a few times when I was teenager, my mom threatening divorce. I can remember my sister & I always saying that if they got divorced, we would want to live with dad. But they stuck it out and got through it.

I always thought he was a great husband & father, but more so, he was an awesome human being. He didn't abuse my mom or us kids, he didn't run around on my mom, and was basically a hard worker. He did get laid off a few times and I do remember money was tight sometimes. We never went hungry though, even if we had something cheap & simple like pancakes or spagetti for dinner.

He would help anybody who needed it. He was an electrician for alot of years and he knew how to fix alot of other things, and if anybody needed any help, he was there, taking no money for the work he did. Alot of people knew him and he knew alot of people. I can't believe the calls and cards we've been getting about him since Monday. The funeral home asked how many people we expect for his service and we couldn't even begin to think of how many there's going to be.

I'm out of town alot for my job but I'm so glad I was able to get home for what was his last Father's Day. He just retired and he wasn't even able to enjoy his retirement!

Please don't think I'm being insensitive but he declined so rapidly in the last few months, and I'm glad he went quickly instead of him lingering for years. What he was going through, it was no way to live.

Sorry I'm rambling. These are things I would like to say at his service but I know that if I did, I would probably lose it halfway through.

So thanks for 'listening'.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded like a really nice guy. It must feel really good to know that so many other people thought of him the same way.

I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He sounds like he was a wonderful man indeed. It's so hard losing a parent. Nobody loves us the way they do. Hold onto your memories, they'll always be yours. My prayers to your father and your family, and especially your mother for the strength to get through this difficult time.

My dad passed away about a month and a half ago, and that's how it was with him. He hasn't been in the best of health for the last 6 years, but he wasn't ill. It was only in the last few months that he began to decline rapidly. And it took us all a little off guard.

It's so weird to thing that he's not just a phone call away. He's always been there.

If you need to talk, I'm only a pm away.

I want to offer my condolences to you...I'm very sorry for your loss. Your father sounded like an awesome person indeed.

I'll keep you in my thoughts...hang in there.

I am very sorry. It's hard to lose a dad, and I know that firsthand as well. Time is a remarkable thing that it does take a lot of the pain away, and after some time had passed I found it helped me to remember him for the way he lived and not the way he died.

Hang in there and take comfort in your family and friends.

You have my sympathy and support

I know what your going through i lost my dad in 1999.
my deepest sympathy im sorry for your loss. Things will get better.;)

Your old man (father) will rest in peace at age 65-064 (years-days)

Im so sorry.

Huh?!
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my father in 1995 and I still miss him. Just remember he is in a happy place. I'm sure a great man like that knew the Lord Jesus and is in heaven. Thoughts and prayers go to you:)

Aww...he was too young. He sounds a lot like my dad. :)

Chin up, and don't be afraid to cry no matter where you are. Sounds like you'll miss him a lot.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your father sounds like he was a wonderful man. God Bless.

It sounds like he was a great person, and I'm sorry for your loss. :(

So sorry for your loss. Remember the happy times whenever you think of him. When my mother passed away when she was 54, it helped me to make a special scrapbook of her pictures and momentos of her achievements. Maybe doing something like that when you're ready may help you, too.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. :( :hug:

I'm so sorry about your dad. My dad passed on 5 years ago, it was sudden. He was only 68. The way you describe your dad reminds me of mine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
