Him and I have a great relationship and talk often and openly.
He's known for a while now that he's not well and has already planned and paid for his funeral.
We've talked about death openly as he has seen many of his classmates and friends pass away.
I just don't know what I'm going to do when he's no longer just a phone call away. I'll miss hearing him gripe about "those damn Saints" His smell, his laugh and his crazy sense of humor. He's my dad but we've been like great friends for a long time.

There's no way to sugar coat it - it will suck...for a long time. Over time, you never really get over the loss, you just get used to it.

It's good that you have had some time to know that he wouldn't be here for eternity. I was only 18 years old when my dad passed, but he had health issues a few years earlier and I guess I had always in the back of my mind tried to prepare myself for the worst. The day he passed was completely sudden, he was at work and called home to tell my mom he was on his way driving himself to the hospital, but he pulled over on the side of the road and passed away before arriving.
Memories will always be there, and be thankful that you have had some time to make peace and prepare.

Sounds like y'all had a great relationship and you should feel blessed by that. Loss is loss and it hurts like hell. I lost my son a year ago and would much rather have gone first.
One thing I know for sure thou, is that heaven is not something to be scared of and you will see him again. Heaven is so much better then this world.
My pastor at my church wrote a book about heaven after interviewing thousands of people that had near death experiences. It is on Amazon and called "imagine heaven". At some point in the future I recommend you read it. It has given me comfort after my son passed.
