For people like your father, it is always too soon. My condolences to you and your family. I lost my father a few years ago and I see that we are close in age. I know that our fathers' generation was probably the best that the U.S. has ever seen. Even when the end was near, my dad could only think of others. The hurt never really goes away but honor your father by living life the right way, like the way he showed you. God bless.

Hi,

My deepest condolences to you and your Family. I lost my Dad exactly 1 year ago and it's still awful, a void which I'm coming to realize will never be filled. He too was born and raised in Philly, on Mason Ave. in Drexel Hill.

Celebrate your Dad's life, the grief will pass, but it's the living you'll remember - the times you and he spent together. Imagine how your kids are going to feel on that day when they lose you and make up for it now... May your Father rest in peace...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

My condolences to you and your loved ones.

Remember though,there is plenty that you can do to let him live on. My grandfather told me something I will never forget a few months before he passed. Everyone knew his time was coming as age was taking its toll. One of the last times my family went out to lunch, on the ride there, out of no where he said,"Robert(my name) the greatest honor your father and you can do for me is live your lives,have a family and do what you want. I just want to stay around to see you graduate from high school. I never finished so that would mean alot to me". This was at the beginning of my senoir year. He passed shortly after the start of the 2nd quarter,but in some weird way it felt like he was there.

The greatest acheivements(I dont know if this is the right word) that we can do for our parents is live our lifes,we are images of them.

Again,my condolences.

Nothing I said can cure your grief, but know that he is in heaven, as all good people ends up, much better world than the earth.

My condolences to you and your family.

Sincerest condolences for your loss grizzly. It comes to all of us in time, but that doesn't make it any easier.
Right on, blinkwatt. Our only immortality is through our children.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I highly recommend the book "Wisdom of Our Fathers" by Tim Russert. It's a great book with anecdotal stories written by everyday sons and daughters. I like to think of myself as a "man's man", but having a box of kleenex at my side was a must when I sat down to read (DON'T TELL MY WIFE). Great stories and valuable life lessons.

Again, I'm very sorry.
