To all those who knew my Dad, he died doing what he loved and that's all that counted. His ashes were spread on Gatun Lake waters last week.

I'd like to sunset this "handle" and get my own going.

Sorry to hear that.

Just remember the all the good times you had together.
 
Brett,
My sincerest condolences. I lost my dad 2 months ago. Just remember the great times and life lessons.
 
That's a pain I never want to experience, yet it's bound to come someday. My condolences to you and your family.

My condolences as well. You said it all when you said "all that knew my "Dad"". You are in my prayers.
 
I never met your Dad but I understand the loss all too well. My deepest condolences.

Lost my Dad at an early age. I know what you must be going through. I also offer my condolences to you and your family.
 
Sorry to hear this. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
 
Reefhunter,

My deepest condolences to you and yours. Only those of us who have been there truly understand.

When my dad passed away, the first card I received contained what follows...most fitting I would think for those of us who love being on and around the water.....

I am standing on the sea shore,
A ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her
Till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says:
"She is gone."

Gone! Where?
Gone from my sight - that is all.
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me,
not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
"She is gone",
There are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
"There she comes"

- And that is passing on. A horizon, and merely the limit of our sight.
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences, losing a Dad is really tough ... mine'e been gone 10 years now and I still miss him often.
 
My condolances to you and your family.

We are currently worried about my MIL, she is not doing well and may not last long.

Again, very sorry for your loss.
 
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. They only condolence that I can really offer is that at least you knew and got to experience your Dad. Cherish those memories. There are a lot of us that would kill to have them.
 
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your dad. The death of a parent isn't something you ever
"get over", but with time you do learn to live with it. Take Care.
 
Brett, my condolences. My Dad's been gone nearly 28 years now, and I still miss him. As time goes on, it gets a little easier, but the ache never completely goes away.

Hang in there!
