After a couple years of failing health, my father passed away last night under hospice care just 3 days before his 76th birthday and a week before his and my mother's 54th anniversary. He (and Mom) instilled their tireless work ethic in me and he was an overall good guy, with not a malicious bone in his body. He loved the attention Lord Vader gets and accompanied me to a ton of events the last few years. To say he'll be missed is an understatement.
Brett prayers for you and your family at this time of loss and positive remembrance. Remember the positive as it seems like he was a positive Force to those around him. Your family will be in our thoughts
Brett, I’m so sorry for your loss, but the time spent with your dad I’m sure it was awesome! I miss my dad every day, but I definitely think of the good times we had which were many. God bless your father!
PS, I love the picture! My dad always wore a pocket shirt, with his glasses in the pocket, a pen to write with, and a thermometer. Yes, he was an air conditioning guy. Hope you smile
I'm so ready for the pocket protector; Glasses, pencil, sharpie, mini screwdriver, etc. At 53 I wish this would come back "in style". Sorry for the hijack, I'm sure we all miss these men.
Brett sorry for your family's loss. It sounds like you were close to him. I lost my father about a year and half ago, he was just 68, its truly a life changing event, sounds like your family might of had some time to comes to grips with this ahead of time, not sure it makes it any easier or not. Thoughts and prayers and do whatever you need to to keep his memories alive. Ppl say its gets easier, but for me that day isn't here yet. If you need a shoulder to cry on just reach out....
Sorry to hear. 50th anniversaries - seems like more often than not, one spouse is either in failing health or about to. Thanks for sharing so much with us - it certainly sounds like you two had a great bond!
Lynn and I are really sorry or your loss, Brett. Unlike others here, we spoke with him several times at events, and he was a great guy. Please give my condolences to your Mom and family.
So sorry to hear, Brett. My Dad has been through some hell in the last couple years, so I've made it a priority to spend more time with him...no excuses. It will be tough to lose him.
