So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I always enjoyed our conversations at the contest , he was very excited about the Mustang at the KOI.  His enthusiasm for the hobby was obvious .

We talked a lot every contest and I will miss him as I know the other modelers in Florida wil too..

Hi Tommy,

So sorry to hear of this, my condolences to you and the rest of your family.

Tom, I'm very sorry to hear that and extend my condolences and prayers.

I've been stranded in a blizzard in the middle of nowhere overnight with -55 wind chills and a vehicle filling up with snow coming though closed window seams - a modeler friend lost 5 members of his family who froze to death in that storm, and 4 people froze to death in a car stranded on a street in Fargo (1985).

I went through open heart surgery in 1966, almost as a pioneer.

And I'd go through either of them again gladly to avoid the pain of losing my Dad.  Worst pain I've ever endured.

May God grant you comfort and peace.

Tom I just saw this.  I am so sorry.  I remember meeting your dad years ago at the KOI when Bob Dixon and I came down.  My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Tom, I'm truly sorry for the loss of your dad. I hadn't realized how difficult that can be, until my dad passed away in 2007.  There were all those mixed feelings of loss, regret, and just emptiness in part of moy own mind. It looks as though you too have great memories though of good times and lasting knowledge and wisdom received, and I'm sure he know all that when he moved on. It does get easier with time. Best wishes.

Sorry to hear, Tom. Lost my dad 50 years ago. Think about him, and miss him every day.
The hurt never leaves, but the good memories live on.

Tom,
I am sorry for your loss. I didn't know your dad, but the loss of anyone in our circle of modelers is a hurt to all. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Hi Tom, Most sincere condolences to you and your family. Been alone as to parents since 1998 and still miss them both. Just be happy in that the two of you had our hobby to share. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  Losing your father who is ALSO your coach & mentor is a loss on so many levels.  I still hear my dad shout out his coaching to me when I fly...
