My Dad

[Bullshark]

Dad passed last night. He sure put up a tough fight for a 92 year old man. Went 9 days w/o food or water. He had a seizure a week ago Friday and never really woke up from the coma he went into right after. I think he must have had a stroke along with it. Back when I was a senior at University of Missouri Rolla, and it looked like I would probably graduate, he loaned me $3400 to buy my first Corvette. A fully optioned 67 427 roadster with AC. He also loaned my brother the money for his 69 that I now have. Guess thats not really true, it was the one he put upside down in the creek. He had a reputation of being a little hard headed, but to me He was Special!!!
Guess I got it honest.

RIP Dad:drink:

I'm truely sorry. I know what a loss it is. I've lost both my parents. You had him for a good long time, even though it wasn't long enough.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It helps. I thought it would be easier since he had such a long life, but turned out it was harder than I thought. Still tough holding it together. My friends remind me that he is in a better place and we will all be joining him someday. I sure hope they are right. Pretty sure though, that Dad and I will probably have seats in the upper balcony. We will wave to all you guys down in the front row.
