Today the world lost a good man

[jadenchick]

I'm really, really, really sorry. Hugs and prayers to you and the family.

Dave, I am so sorry for your loss.

 

[2Driver]

I'm truly sorry Dave. Family and friends are never so important as in times like these.

 

[Joe mama]

Sorry for your loss Dave. We all meet in a different place and i'm sure he's watching over your entire family. RIP POPS

 

[RiverDave]

I'm really, really, really sorry. Hugs and prayers to you and the family.

Dave, I am so sorry for your loss.

[ONE-A-DAY]

One year and few days on my dad (1-1-11). Tough stuff.

 

[Wavemaker]

The years just fly on by however, both my wife and I mark the days each of our respective parents passed away, with a little custom we do before dinner on each of the anniversary dates. We pour a shot for each each of us, one for the decessed down it and we tell each other of a memory we recall from some fun time that was shared together as a group or shared individually with the decessed. We have shared shots over the years we've been together, and we have laughed and laughed until we have cried together over sharing the rememberance of times, events and occurances that took place with our parents and loved ones. The best rememberance drinks the shot poured for the decessed. The shots help to lossen you up, and the tales shared can be very funny which will help cheer you up. Many good times were shared boating, fishing, camping, dune-buggying at Pismo, and partying together.

Find a simple way to share the good times you have had with your Dad with those you love, and have a drink together while telling the tales of your memories of the good times you shared. You'll feel a little better.

Fine a simple way to share the good times you have had with your Dad with those you love, and have a drink together while telling the tales of your memories of the good times.

I have a simple way tonight.. I'm going to dinner with One a Day.. I'm going to get fuckin Blato'd drunk, and hand him the bill.

Some people deflect with humor.. I'm one of them. I'm always 2 seconds away from losing it a couple of days leading up to it and on this day every year.

Example of humor # 2.

Stacy was trying to get me to go for some long walk with her and the baby the other day and I really didn't want to go.

She finally says "Ya know Dave a little walking won't kill you." without skipping a beat I say "Tell that to my dad."

The blank stare and the not knowing what to say next was priceless..

Sorry for your loss

 

[t&y]

Sorry to hear that Dave. Never easy losing family like that.

 

[2Driver]

You guys know this happened 3 years ago right? Just happened on this day.

RD

Obviously not.

I dont usally chime in on people personal issues when I havent met them but this struck a cord as I got the same call not long ago. Supposed I should read the 1st post closer.

Either way, thoughts extened I guess.

 

[River Dirt 2]

Sorry for your loss Dave, our condolences to you and your family.

 

[Patyacht]

Been out all day and upon returning home was hit with this so sad news. Dave, Bobbe's and my thoughts are with you and your family. We did not know your dad but from reading these 37 pages, I'm sure he was the greatest. As so many have previously said, we are here to help with anything you or your family needs. Again, our prayers are with you and your family.

 

[Tom Slick]

Damn Dave, I just saw this thread. I so terribly sorry for your loss man.

 

[kgt]

3 years already…wow time flies way to fast.
Your dad is with you every day and you know it, I bet you will also see your dad when your look into that beautiful little girls of yours eyes.
Happy thoughts Dave.

Three years RD?
Wow.
Time keeps moving on, doesn't it.
You are doing fine, my friend. Your Pop would want you to move on and keep him in your heart, and you are doing so. Heck, 27 years later I still look back and wonder what he would do, how he would solve a problem, stuff like that.
Sometimes, I can still hear his laugh.
The pain of the memories gradually deadens. It never goes away, just deadens. The value of the memories increases exponentially. This is the good part.
I struggle sometimes because Chris, my eldest, looks soo much like him.
It can be spooky.
Enjoy your evening, and try to go to sleep with a smile on your face in honor of his memory.
You know he would want that.

 

[plaster dave]

I can only imagine how you feel. It's been almost 4 months for me and certain songs really get to me still. I wish my dad would have been able to see my little girl born but it wasn't in the cards.

 

[Duffster]

Hang in there Dave you told about you dad and he sounded like a very cool dude.

April is the fucked up month for me. When I lost my brother and two of my best friends with in two years all in the same month.

 

[Rising Sun]

Sorry to hear about your dad. I am going to be in Havasu next weekend. Let me know if you need anything.

 

[duck660]

RD and family... God Bless and Godspeed. Thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Well went to dinner with wtmfa and one a day plus wives.. Then went to one a days house and got blato'd.. Tried to drink every beer he had, but he has these little mini fridges everywhere and they all have beer in them. Lol. Came home hung out in the garage for an hour and passed out.

[RiverDave]

Again to those that are skimming the thread, my dad died three years ago. I appreciate some of the posts and pm's, but I don't need anything and I am doing ok. I just bump the thread every year on the day and read the whole thing again, then go out with some friends and have a beer or four hundred.

Good that you found a way to have some fun and good times, with friends to get you over the funk. I know what you mean regarding that quick come-back and the resulting blank stare.

Dave,

This is the 5 year aniv. for losing both my Mom and Dad, and all I can say is that it does get a little easier. The fact that the apple didn't fall far from the tree is respectful and makes it tough for you. You're Pop sounds like a great guy.
Happy New Year!!! Keep boating!
