Sad times

Post by gahult »

Hi to all my friends here at TAG.

I know I have not participated for a long time.

I just want to inform you my father passed away last night at the age of 85.

Just thought this would be easier than a lot of emails.

I will be back come snow drifts and more building.

These games "Mafia Wars, Pirates, Mobsters" my son got me hooked on are soon wearing thin. :roll:

Looking forward to returning to the fold.

As always,

Gary

I am sorry to hear of your loss. We just lost our mother in July and I know what you must be going through. It is indeed a sad time. Amps and hobbies help us escape from the real world for a time but we always have things happen in our life that bring us back with a slap in the face. You and your family have our deepest sympathies and you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

SO sorry to hear about your father Gary. Consider yourself lucky that you have had your father around this long. I lost my dad in a car accident (hit head on by a wreckless driver) where I was his passenger. He was only 50 when it happened and way too young to go. He was my best pal, so it was and is hard at times, but I always remember all the good times we had.

On the bright side, we get your wicked sense of humor back in these parts! It has been missed.

I want to thank you all for lending a sympathetic ear and your kind words.

We had a beautiful celebration of his life with my stepbrother, a Lutheran minister giving us words of comfort.

Time will ease the sorrow and help to remember the good times and a full life.

Dad passed peacefully at home reading one of his Louis Lamour paperbacks, he had the complete collection.

Again,

Thank you all,

Gary

Losing a parent is always difficult. When they pass suddenly, it is very hard on those of us remaining. There is a lot to be thankful for, though, if your dad passed peacefully, quickly, while doing something he loved at age 85. My dad died in pieces over 8 years with cancer problems, which he survived, heart disease, and finally a stroke. If I had to make a choice of dying right now, quickly, or living another 40 years going through what my dad did– just take me today, and I'll die with a smile on my face and hopefully a little sawmill gravy dripping from my lip :D
All that aside, we do miss them when they're gone, and I add my condolences, amigo mio.
