Storys of crazy stuff your dad did is necessary.

Sorry Timmah.

I have lots of stories about my dad but I can't post them here. Let's just say he had a green thumb.

Sorry for your loss, Timmah.

I know the pain, sorry for your loss

Deepest condolences on your loss. Keep the memories close Tim.

Such sad news! my condolences.

Deepest condolences Timmah...

Sorry for your loss, I've been there and it is not easy.

My dad was a ball buster and loved to help me work on carpentry projects. It used to drive me crazy because he would constantly clean up the area I was working in and then use the air nozzle and blow himself off. ( he hated being dirty ) So one day, at the end of the day he went to use the restroom. While he was gone I took the air nozzle off the air hose and filled it with blue chalk. As planned he returned and cleaned up and blew off.....to his surprise, when he opened his eyes he was BLUE!!! These kind of things happened offen but he usually did the pranks. Felt good to get him back.

I am sorry for your loss. Good parents are the foundation of our lives and losing one leaves a massive hole.

Sorry for your loss, I've also been there and it is an incredibly difficult time.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Having been there, I know it's not easy. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry Tim.

I'm very sorry to hear this Tim. I miss my dad every day . I understand where you are.

My dad was a mischievous, hard drinking, cantankerous, and often funny guy that used to spy on the Russians. I'd say more but...

Condolences to you and your family... T's & P's sent.

My Dad has heart problems, and has had a few heart attacks, the latest was a mild one a couple of days ago. Makes you cherish your time together a whole lot more. Don't even want to think about losing him someday.

Sorry for your loss Timmah. Be happy for the times you had. I lost my hero 28 years ago when I was only 18 but learned quite a bit in that time.

Tim sorry for your loss .

memories ??????? I.ve spent me life making them for my kids ...........Don,t have much to say about my dad ......he worked hard , smoked too much , drank Narri & never said he loved me ..

My condolences. I'm sure the good memories of the times you shared will be of comfort.

My condolences.

My deepest condolences. I've gone through alot in the past 10 years. Often my Dad says "I dunno how you do it"... I just look at him and say "You would do the exact same thing if it was mom." It's true. Alot of the best parts of me come from them.

Sorry. Death is a hard one to fathom. Whatever you're feeling right now someone else right down the street is feeling it too. I took solace in that when my father died. A kind of safety in numbers thing for those of us left behind. Death sucks. No doubt about it.

Very sorry for your loss....our condolences to you and your family.

Really sorry for your loss.

RIP.

really sorry for your loss.

My condolences to you and your family

Sorry for your loss Timmah, I have played the scenario out in my head a million times particularly over the last couple of years with multiple issues my old man has had, I cant imagine what you are going through right now.

One funny story about my dad.

When i was a kid like many others of my age group the Dukes of Hazzard was the greatest thing in the world. Every Friday night it was Pizza night and then the dukes were on. Well one particular night I imagine I was 5 or 6 at the time it was just me and my dad the girls had gone out or were upstairs doing who knows what,playing strawberry shortcake or something, not important. I was on the couch with my dad and I was trying to figure out if Bo or Luke was my favorite Duke so I asked him who his favorite was. Well he responded "Daisy" being 6 I thought well thats stupid she doesnt shoot flaming arrows, drive the car, jump rivers hell the doors on her jeep weren't even welded shut. SO i said why would Daisy be your favorite, at which point he cupped his hands out in front of his chest and smiled and said shes got big ones. Well naturally I went in to school on Monday and told all my friends that Daisy was my dads favorite Duke and why. Well this caused quite a stir apparently because i was instructed to never tell anyone ever again what my Dad said about Daisy Duke.

My condolences.

Mine passed many years ago.
He was a nut !!!!!
Nuff said !!!!

sorry to hear about your dad. My thoughts go to you and your family

Sorry for your loss.

I don't miss my dad (in the conventional sense) because he is with me whenever I go fishing. He taught me the joy of fishing, the art of patience and the gaol of persistence when we fished.

Now I try to do the same with every rookie I encounter that looks like they need a "nudge" in the right direction.

I get as much joy teaching others as I would if I were catching the fish myself, and for that I think of and thank my dad every time!

As it has been said, and will be said again and again : After they are gone all you will have is your memories. Fortunately the more memories you have of that person, the more they will remain a part of your life and you will never ever forget them.

God Bless!

Very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is a tough one.

I am very sorry for your loss. I cannot fathom the pain you are going through. He will always be alive in your heart.

My Grandfather, my Dad and I fished a together for 30 years. Catching squeteague in the Coles River & Tiverton basin and trolling for Bass off 2A near Seal Rock in Newport. Shellfishing in the Coles River or on Prudence.

He kicked me off his boat once because I released a 38" bass when the size minimum was 40". As I was releasing the fish, he was beating me on the head with a stainless steal mesh glove while calling me every name in the book. I swam around off 2A for a few minutes before they came back and picked me up.

I don't fish with my Dad anymore. He fishes from his sailboat occasionally. He caught a 63# bass in 1966 and he claims that he has reached the pinnacle of Striper Fishing.

I grew up fishing with my entire family. We were either shellfishing, fin fishing or eating and drinking together. Those are by far the fondest memories of my life.

My Grandfather died in 2004 and I still miss him. I talk to my Grandfather while I fish. I ask him where the fish are and joke around about being a better fisherman than he was; which I am not...

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Next time you wet a line; try talking to your Dad. I know that it keeps me close to my Grandfather; hopefully it will bring you comfort as well.

Except for the narries, sounds like mine. Dad's parents and sisters were alcoholics. He almost never touched the stuff. Only time I ever saw him drunk, he went to a CYO meeting (adult moderator) and went out with a few with "Faaather O'Neill" afterwards. A few was all he could handle.

timmah, I'm very sorry for your loss, and besides the above, I don't have a lot of crazy stories to share. My dad was orphaned at 10, raised by an aunt during the Depression, worked every day of his life since he was 15, except for the three years he spent taking 3 German bullets. He was a hard-working, strict but fair dad, who gave a lot to kids in Scouts and CYO, and handed his whole paycheck over to mom every Thursday. Not a guy who was colorful in any way. Just a good, decent man and father who I've missed now for almost 32 years to the day.

Sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
