My condolences to you and your family.

Such a terrible tragedy just before the Holiday of Rejoicing

Be very thankful for the times you did have together
and the closeness that you shared that some people never have

Your Dad lives inside of you now within your memories
and in those of others some of whom you may not have met.

Your family will look to you now for his strength
and for some of his personality that you inherited.

Very sorry for your LOSS John.

Sincere condolences
 
I so sorry to hear of your loss, I lost my father when he was 67 ,it's just way too young. Same thing with him and my mom, --married young and seemingly forever. Your mom will need you to lean on and be strong for her. It totally sucks and no words can really help.Time does help some but it never really goes away completely. I got by, by remembering that dad was a good man and that I have to carry on and do my best.Remembering the good times helps too. I'm not sure if any of this helps but I thought I'd extend a hand and some thoughts. My thoughts and prayers are with you ,your family ,and your dad.~Joe Martins

Goosefish,

Truely sorry for your lose. It will get better with time but will never go away. Last week Dec 6th was the 25th year without my dad. He also died in a traggic auto accident at 60 with my uncle and 3 good friends, 5 total. I was 18 at the time. He was the best dad there was. Not much of a fisherman but loved to sail and did his best to satisfy my fishing needs with trolling off the sailboat when I was a kid. Now I'm finding it hard to bring up those thoughts.

Stay strong and takecare of your mom.

Sincerely,
Jon

Thank you guys so much. So damn sad.

A woman called my mom this morning. She was at the scene of the accident. She got in the car with my father, stroked his hair, talked to him. Then he was gone. My mom told me this story. It's both beautiful and sad. So damn sad.

There is no way to be prepared for such a sudden tragedy. Share the lose with your mother and the rest of the family and friends. It will help you and all of them to voice your feelings to eachother.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I was looking at pictures two weeks ago of a trip to some of my family took to Ireland when I was 4-5 yrs old, 1973-74. There was a picture in the bunch of me and my Dad taking a ferry over the Shannon River. In the picture I'm looking at the camera, he's got his hand on my shoulder but he's looking at me, not the camera. I now know what he was thinking because I recognize the look on his face, it's the face I have on when I'm looking at my own son. He died in 1981 when i was 12. John, I say this because it sounds like you had an awesome relationship with your Dad. It's that relationship and those memories that will always keep him in your life. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss.

eelskimmer 12-13-2010 11:43 AM

John,
My kindest thoughts to you and your mom. She
will feel his loss the most. Fifty years of marriage...
Big Fish's advice is good, get his photos out and even
bring some item he owned for his friends at the wake.
It's what he may have wanted. Take care of your mom.
God bless.
