That’s rough.

My dad actually passed the morning after Christmas. Had an awesome Christmas Day and night. We all went home around 10:30 pm and the plan was for my dad and 2 brothers to meet at my younger brothers house at 5:00am December 26.

After showing up at my brothers house we tried calling dad at 5:05 because he was never late for anything. No answer.

I immediately got knots in my stomach as well as my older brother. I could tell when I looked at him. So I jump in my truck and my other 2 brothers drove together to dads. No answer after knocking. Unlocked door and found him in the position he usually slept. I shook him for a second to wake up then I noticed he wasn’t breathing and his body was cold. Everything after that was a blur.

This is a great thread. I lost my Dad in 1992; he was only 52. Now I'm 52. He was one of those Dad's that could do, or fix anything. They don't make em like that no more. He taught us so may life lessons through the years, that I would be lost without these things. I have many friends who had good fathers, but they didn't have the benefit of learning so many valuable life lessons from I feel very fortunate. My Dad didn't hunt (I am avid duck/deer now); but he was a Fishin' Fool! I cut my fishing teeth in Lake P. and spent many good summers reelin' in reds and trout down in Delacroix. I think about him every day and wish my son and daughter would have been able to know and love him. He was special and had more patience than anyone I know in this fast paced crazy world we live in now. Thanks for opening this thread.
