After being on the boards for all these years you see these threads and you feel bad for whoever it is that week and you move on with your life. It never occurs to you that just being in someone's thoughts really helps. I really appreciate all the responses and I really appreciate my online extended family. Reading this thread has added some comfort to a very trying time.

The fact that he was your hero, says it all.....So So sorry for your loss.............

Very well said I was just thinking the same thing....he taught me everything that I know that's good in life. In the 32 years I've been alive I've never seen him tell a lie and I've never met such a man with such integrity. I know that I am who I am today because of him.

Thank you so much everybody. Again it really means alot.

Never met you Dave, but I've heard you talk about you dad in the past on here and thought how great it must be to have a relationship with your father like that, never happened for me but I try to be in my kids lives and be there for them. Your family is in our prayers.

Dave,
I know the heavy heart you carry, and you have my deepest sympathies. So much of a man can be measured by what his father has taught him, and it is obvious how much your father taught you. He must have been one hell of a guy. Take care, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

As I ponder the love
that I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love,
given without compromise....
I recall many times
that he stood by my side,
And prodded me
on with great vigor and pride.
His voice ever confident,
firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience,
tenderness and care.


The power and might
of his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing
we couldn't endure.
It's true,
a few others provided insight,
Yet, he laid the foundation
that kept me upright.



He's the grandest of men
to have lived on this earth,
Although he's not royal
by stature or birth.
He's a man of great dignity,
honor and strength.
His merits are noble,
and of admirable length.
He's far greater
than all other men that I know,
He's my Dad, he's my mentor,
my friend and hero.




love you Dave..xoxo

Dave,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I never had the privilege of meeting your dad but, he raised a fine son. I am sure he was a proud father.

Dave, our deepest condolences. I wish you the strength to deal with this, while at the same time not being afraid to allow your emotions show. The pride you have shown in your dad through the years has not gone unnoticed, and speaks volumes of the great man he was. His legacy will live on through you.

Really sorry to hear this Dave. Been thru it myself but we knew my Pops days were up and all the family was there in his last moments. So many things to say that can't be said now.

Hang in there. Time does heal and I know right now it doesn't have any meaning but it will.

RIP

I truly am sorry for your loss. Have peace in the knowledge that the influence your Dad has had on you which shapes the way you speak, think, and live, also allows him to always be with you in a way that can never be taken. I wish you and your family strength and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

Aw Dave, I am sorry, man. It sucks, and it will keep sucking for many years. My dad was one of my favorite people and I miss him. I still get sad when I see his photos. Its gonna hurt, and it won't go away for a while. After a while you think about it less, but when you remember, you will still be sad. :(

I know you were proud of him and loved him a lot. Be glad you had as much time with him as you got. :cool:

My father passed away this morning. He had a heart attack while walking his dogs. A friend visiting some neighbors did CPR for awhile before the ambulance showed up. I arrived on the scene to see the paramedics working on him, right up till the point where they handed me the corvette hat we bought him for christmas, cell phone and sunglasses.

A few of you had met him, and one or two knew him..

Today the world lost a good man. The greatest man I've ever known.

Im very sorry for your loss Dave. You & the family will be in my prayers tonight. Hang n there hun. xoxoxo

Dave,
I'm pretty sure you were typing that through tears. I know I did when my mom passed. Cherish what you had with him - the boat, he got to know RiverDiva...

God Speed.
