I lost my Dad, my hunting partner, last month.

I'm sorry for your loss also. It does become a little more bearable with time, but will be....different from now on. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Every day I try to be more like my Dad. Notice I said try. They are big shoes to fill.
Hang tough, he'll always remain in your heart.
 
It has been almost four years since Dad died. Mom and I still think of him every day. We have the portrait that the funeral home made from one of the digital pics I took of him and his horse hanging on the wall. I tap the frame and say "Miss you, Dad" every day when I walk by it. Most of the pain has changed to nostalgia now, but it still hits me now and then.
 
Just to add, as far as my hunting partner, I still have in my safe an acorn that I put in my pocket around 1966 or so while my Dad and I were sitting squirrels. ( of course, Dad was sleeping)
It's an instant reminder of that day.
I miss him and love him dearly.

Sorry for your loss.

My Dad to me was like your Dad. He's been gone for many years but I still remember our times together.

Time won't heal the loss but only makes it less painful.
 
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in March of '15, a few weeks after his 76th birthday. We knew it was coming, as he had been battling kidney cancer for 18 months, but it was still a shock when he was gone. My Dad was my best friend, and I still miss him everyday. Your Dad sounds like a great guy, and it will take time to adjust to his absence. At least you have lots of great memories.
