Sounds like you lost a great Dad AND a great friend. You're so lucky to have had something to share with him. When I pass I can only hope that my son will appreciate me as much as you obviously appreciated yours. So sorry for your loss.

its often said
 

that you dont become a man until you've lost your father.... i'm truly sorry for your Loss Jimmy... remember: that it's the only place that your Mom can see parts of your Dad's personality............ is in "you" and in your "sister"....

so be there for her like you said... and in a small way it will be like having a part of him around her... my condolences to you and all of you're family...

Sorry to hear about your loss. Good thoughts are forever.

My thoughts are with you.

Thanks for all the support, my family is doing their best to get through it.
I tried to fish this weekend but didnt have the energy. It would be good to have some time to reflect, everything is too busy now. Hopefully over the 4th weekend.
Thanks again for all your posts.
