Very sorry to hear of your loss. I can say from experience that it's something you never get over, you just deal with not having him around.
Changing my avatar for a while seems fitting. My Dad's been gone a long time, but my Mom will still hop on a bike in a skinny minute. Proof that life goes on in my book.
Our prayers are with you and your family.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Tom. I lost my dad last September so I know what it's like to lose a parent. Single digits here in Chicago so I can't ride, but I can and will say a prayer for you and all whom your dad leaves behind.

Am saying a prayer for your Dad, you, and your family.
The 83 doesn't matter, as you can never be ready for something like this.
Live on as he'd want for you to.

Tom,
So sorry for your and family's loss. I lost my Mom just shy of two years ago and still treasure every visit and phone call with my Dad. Condolences and prayers headed your way.

Tom - my Dad IS my riding partner and is still fun to be around at nearly 70. Sure, he does stuff that irritates me but I never take for granted the great times we have had, and will continue to have on the bikes (me on the feejer and he on the Gold Wing).
I mourn with you in your loss, and wish you well. If you are a Bible reading man (I am), look up Jeremiah 29:11. One of my faves.

I am sorry to hear that you lost your dad, condolences to you and all the other he left behind.
Always a reminder to give out hugs freely and without hesitation when you still can.

I am saddened to read this, my friend
May you and yours feel the Good Lords wide arms around you during this difficult time and adjustment with His great Peace and Comfort offered to you daily.
My and my family's deepest sympathies go out to you from the deep south. I, my wife, and my children will mention you and your family by name this evening during our bedtime prayers as I firmly believe the scripture that children especially have God's ear during their prayers.
My screen is blurry as your sharing, transparency, and feelings come through loud and clear and may all of us give you big, strong shoulders to weep upon for your loss.
I lost my Dad in '87 a mere 3 months after my wedding (so glad he was there) and I never quite got over it, but time does heal the wound. My memories do sustain me, but, yes, we only get one Dad and he is so irreplaceable.
My Mom passed in '08 Mother's Day weekend (she held on by her fingertips till Monday to rid us of remembering Mother's Day itself this way) and my sister in law lost her Dad this past Christmas Eve. Tough year, but such is the circle of life.
I rode to visit WFooshee in Panama City this weekend, and am leaving at 0530 soon for a Patriot Guard Mission for a WWII Veteran of the Marine Corp in nearby Denham, Springs (60 miles from my home) and I will ride and remember you and your Dad this day (sorry Yankees, 55 degrees now with high of 72 this afternoon - it's July that's a bear here).
I wonder if your Dad or you are a Veteran that had the privilege to serve as my Dad did - Army medic in the Pacific, WWII (served in the rear echelon - Guadacanal, etc).
My PGR sig states that I ride for my hero, my Dad.
Peace and Comfort to you, your family, and all of us here in cyperspace,
Affectionately with a manly hug,
Mike in Nawlins'

Thanks all for your kind words and thoughts. They mean a lot to me as this board is part of my "extended" family.
Yes Patriot my Dad was in the Navy during WWII. He never talked much about it however. I'm not a vet as I work for a government contractor.

Dad's been gone for 7 years now, and not a day goes by where something happens that makes me think of him. Doing business in the same town that my folks worked most their life, people frequently ask of them, and share a good memory. Now the sadness is mostly gone, and I remember all of the good times and memories. That is his legacy.
I feel fortunate that we had a good relationship and am really glad you and your father did also.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Sorry for your loss Tom... You and yours will be in our prayers.
My dad passed 3 years ago & like a lot of others have said, "Think about him everyday."
II Corinthians 5 - To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of The Lord...
I, like you, have two fathers in Heaven...
And don't think for a second that he's not checkin' out all the cool spots to show you when you join Him (them) up there.
+1 on Jeremiah 29:11 also...
God Bless you, Bryan
