We lost Dad

Post by **Oldbrass** » Mon May 16, 2022 2:33 pm

We lost Dad, he was 87 and a true old school gentleman who's word and handshake was ironclad..his service was Saturday...We sold the house in Yelm, Washington it closed May 4th. We planned on being in the Tennessee area by now but of course we're with family telling dad stories. We're at my brothers property on the Washington coast living in our travel trailer with non stop rain. We roll out this Friday on our journey east.. Been a hectic month

Deepest sympathy. Lost mine in 2019. Miss him every day.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My Dad passed away back in 1995 at age 85 and still miss him working in his wood shop or in the garden.

Even into his late 80’s my dad would still ask me if I changed my oil lately or tell me to put my winter tires on. I’ve only been driving for decades….Still makes me smile to think of it. You will eventually smile when you think about your dad too.

Ditto on the condolences. Lost my dad in 2000. He was a lifelong flyer. I still look up at every passing plane and think of him. I talk to him often, a calming influence. God Bless.

Sorry to read of your loss. My dad is also in his 80s and both he and my stepmom have had serious health concerns over the last decade. You'll always have him with you.

Condolences Oldbrass on your loss. But I have to say, his expression in the picture you posted says lots. I see a twinkle in his eyes that tells me he was a happy guy who looks like he may have played a prank or two in his time. Might be wrong but there’s something in that look that speaks.

Lost mine in 2010 at the age of 83. It was great that he was able to see three of his grandchildren including my son get married that year. For that I will always be thankful..

Condolences for your loss. I lost my dad back in '82. He was only 56. I still think of him often.

My condolences Oldbrass. I'm lucky enough to still have mine! Gave him a Silver Boy for his 80th birthday.
He's my hero. Miss Mom every day.
Safe travel Sir
