We buried my father a week ago today. Things will never be the same for me.
I am thankful to have him around this long he lived to be 87.
I can't begin to tell all the things My parents taught me and did to help me.
He was from a generation that was twice as tough than the one I grew up in.
He started me in Hunting and fishing though he never did a lot of it. He was always too busy working on something.
He also instilled in me a love of Firearms and Automobiles.
His quotes pertaining to firearms were these:
"Never sell a gun to buy another one. You nearly always regret it later"
"Guns are great investments, they don't eat and you don't have to pay taxes on them"
I love you Dad and I will miss you very much.

He will visit you from time to time in your dreams. He will give you advice. Heed it. Death is not the end and God lets our loved ones return from time to time when we need their guidance. His love is with you forever.

Sorry for your loss, but you are a truly fortunate guy to have had him that long.
My dad was 16 years older than yours, and he's been dead for 35 years, and I still have a few years to go until I hit 60.

Sorry for your loss.
Sounds like you and he had a great run.
Mine died at 66, when I was 41, damn cigarettes.

Condolences to you and your family.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

1911a1: Sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved father.
There are no words to ease the pain but I am also happy he got to be with you for so long.
87 years is well above the norm.
Remember the good times and stay strong.
You were blessed for so long.
Hold into the wind
