That makes sense

Sounds a lot like my old man.
My dad's been gone 27 years. He was of that same generation, born 1931. He was a mechanic his whole life, even when drafted he was switched from corps of engineers to transportation Corp when the army found out about his day job.
I came along 2 months shy of mom and dad's 20th anniversary, when he was 44. I'm sitting here now at 46 rocking his only living grandchild, hoping I can be half the dad he was.
Cheers to your old man and mine. Hope they are tearing up the crappie up in heaven.

Not sure why I’m feeling more sentimental
Because you miss the hell out of him. My dad passed away this past Sunday back in '93. Seems like it was only yesterday. He was 67 and I was 41. I will always treasure the fact and the moment that I was at his bedside when he took his last breath. It was a very moving experience for me.

Mine passed away very recently. God bless. It’ll take his help bc I can’t get by on my own without him. Take care bud

Our dads were the same age and background. We’ve both been fortunate to have them.

Respect to the thread.
Three things that make men of today different, for better or worse:
1. We are more materialistic.
2. We have more responsibility in the home and with kids.
3. Religion has been deemphasized.

Awesome stuff Sounds like a very happy childhood with a good family.
I didn't find out much about my dad until his funeral. His old HS buddies showed up and regaled us with tales. He was rebellious just like me.

Mine spent most of our fishing time getting myself or my brothers unsnagged. He rarely got to fish, if we were "fishing." He spent countless hours on the lake just for us.

It’ll take a few years, but you will eventually remember only the good parts while the sh!tty end of life stuff fades.

My dad and I drifted a bit before he passed away, and that will bother me forever.

We could use more men in this world like your dad. Cheers to a good man.

I hope when my time comes to an end my daughter remembers me as fondly as you remember your father. Sounds like a great guy.

So cool, truly the good ol'days. Men were men and true to the credo - A careful man I want to be, a little fella follows me. I do not dare to go astray for fear he'll go the self-same way.
Posted on 11/13/21 at 8:23 am to Eli Goldfinger
Sounds like a great man. I fear our society produces less and less of these quality men as days go by. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a good dude, sorry for your loss.
My next beer I’ll use to toast him.
Give me six or eight hours, I’m not from Havana.
