Was/is hard to talk about, but thought you'd all understand.

I had told here of his recent 70th Anniversary, with my Mom, in May.

He was more then my father (and hunting partner), but I'm sure many of you will understand that.

My Dad did not graduate High School, yet ran his own businesses (with my Uncle, who was awarded the Bronze Star in WWII) until his retirement, and I can tell you that he knew more about running a business (and managing people) then almost any/all MBA's I've ever known/met.

If any of you would like to know a little about my dad, feel free to take a look here......

Thanks for listening.

Sounds like, from his bio, he lived a full life. I know you'll take good care of mom.

It's a pretty good reminder to some of us to appreciate our fathers while they're still with us. Thanks for that...
 
You have my condolences, and prayers. My Dad was 95 when he crossed over in Dec 2015, I miss him everyday. I was his youngest and we had a great relationship, friends as well as Father and son.
 
I am sorry for your family's loss.

I'm certain St. Peter said "Job Well Done" as he opened the gates.
 
I have to say losing a parent is one of the toughest things in life to experience. Mom passed away only about a year after dad. I don't go to funerals anymore.
 
I read your father's obituary. He sounds like a fine man and an upstanding member of his community and church. Someone I'd probably liked to have known. I know you are proud of him. I like it that memorial contributions can be made in his name to the Dessin Animal Shelter.

Sincerest condolences to you and your family. May he Rest In Peace.

Thank you Watchdog, and everyone, for the kind words!

I do believe you would have enjoyed talking with him, as a cup of coffee and conversion at the counter of a diner, where two of his favorite things!
 
Sorry at the loss of your father.
A source of wisdom, fear, knowledge and support like no other.
I find my self to this day wondering "What would Dad do?".
He passed May of '10 and I miss him every damn day.


My sincere condolences.
 
Sorry about the loss of your Dad. You were blessed to have him around so long.

My Dad died at the young age of 49 from a stroke, in 1953, I still miss him.

Have a blessed day,

Leon
 
Although death is a certainty of life, and the bible tells us not to fear it, the separation it causes still brings tremendous pain into our lives. Spiritually, your father is not gone, he dwells in the hearts and minds of those he left behind. And though the pain will diminish with time, it will never completely leave until you are reunited, at which time it will dissipate completely. God bless you and your family.

Well said Sir,

Have a blessed day.
 
Be thankful he lead a full and long life and that you had him for all those years.

I lost my father in August 1979. I know it may not mean much to you at this time but you are lucky sir.
 
Certainly a Man to model your life after. To quote the great John Milton:

"Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail
Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,
Dispraise, or blame; nothing but well and fair,
And what may quiet us in a death so noble."

God Speed Mr. Tiel.....and God comfort you OP.
 
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.
