Just read this today, sorry for your loss my friend. Keep fishing, casting your line out in the hope’s of a fighting fish.

You’ll learn, through time, that’s what your dad did raising yin’s…

The cycle of life are only passed down traditions. Keep the cycle churnning.

Tom,

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m with you through this. My dad’s heart gave out on him too, now 10+ years ago. (Way too early, although he always said he got more years than he expected; he died on the operating table at age 48, and heroic efforts got him back.)

Your dad and mine shared birth years; so I also have a bit of insight into the way they kept stuff, their world views, and their family values.

Let me know how I can help.

Thoughts are with you and yours, Tom. He left a fine writer for a son; I’m sure he went happy in that knowledge.

I know what you’re feeling. I lost my dad, best friend, biking buddy two years ago. The loss is deep, but the sweet memories linger……..

We’re sorry to hear it, Tom…I’m sure your father was proud to have a son capable of writing such a moving eulogy.

May you and your family be given the time and space needed for a proper fairwell.

Peace, Will and Abby

Tom,

Sorry to read of your loss. I got that same telephone call in April of 1984. Like you, my dad was always my hero and truly the center of my life. Every time I go fishing I’m reminded of him taking me fishing for the first time.

I do know that trout streams have a special healing quality.
