    I am so very sorry for your loss - You are a blessed man to have had such a wonderful Father. Your Father was a blessed man to have had such a Son as you. God rest his soul - And may the Good Lord bring you comfort and ease your suffering at this time of loss.

    I know your sorrow. I lost my Dad eight years ago when he was 90. He started me on a life long journey of hunting, fishing, and enjoying all the good things God has given us….just to enjoy. My condolences. The memories will be with you forever.

    So very sorry to read about the loss of your Father. I've been there myself, having lost mine in 1995 at the age of 81. Eventually the pain of the loss will diminish, but the memories never will. Best wishes.

    So sorry for your loss. You were blessed to have him to that advanced age.

    We lost both my father and father-in-law in 1982. Father-in-law was only 65. My father was 75. Hard work wore a lot of men out early and inherited genes took care of the rest.

    Due to the blizzard I was not able to get to Hazen until Saturday but we did get to spend Saturday and Sunday together. Anyone that knew him was aware he was not fond of cold weather so memorials and internment will be at the end of May.
    M-Tec, I did hot see you post until today and I can tell you that I am so sorry for your loss. My dad has been gone since 1999 and I still miss him! I do tell people that I you listen to your heart that your dad will still be there to guide you down your path! Once again, I am so sorry for your loss! Paul

    Lost my dad at 97. I feel for you. But I trust he had a glorious and wonderful long life.

    I hope to live as long with no medical problems.


    God shower his blessings on you and your family during this time of loss and remembrance!

    It's been almost 4 years since I lost mine . Family history said I should have had him another 10 years now it says I've got 15 if I really take care of myself .

    Sorry for your loss.

    I lost my step dad and father in law in 93. These two men meant a great deal to me; I still think of and miss them.

    Praying for peace, comfort and hope for the whole family.

    When I was in high school, and pondering what to do with my life my dad, who was in his fifties, told me that there were still times that he wished he could talk to his father about things.
