So sorry for your loss Brett.

My sincere condolences.

My condolences Brett. The last gift that our parents give us is to remind us that this part of the ride doesn't last forever, so we need to be about our business (or hobby!) while we still have time.

Very sad to hear of your loss, I understand what you are going through, If you need anything please get in touch.

Will Hinton · « **Reply #54 on:** December 09, 2017, 09:30:45 AM »

Words fail to come as I want to express the joy, respect and such over your obvious love and respect you exhibit towards your father, Brett. There are way too many offspring who do not have what you do toward their parents. You inspire me to say thank you for your example.
Please accept my condolences for your huge loss.

Sorry to hear this is happening to you. I guess I'm fortunate enough that my Dad's departure was unexpected and quick. My Mother was a long time for her departure. My Mother passed here at home and I think she just gave up when doctor told her she had 2 weeks at most. I just can't imagine the pain and grief you are going through.

He's one tough old bird - and he would *love* that characterization. I told him that a few minutes ago, can't tell if it registered or not.

Depending on the context, he envisioned himself to be either James Bond, Clint Eastwood, or Sgt. Bilko.

So sorry to hear Brett.
Certainly tough times now, not knowing if he hears you.
I hope his remaining time is peaceful.

Hi Brett:

I've been holding off posting here because I just did not know what to write that would comfort you in any way during this time of loss. Your post about your father's brilliant mind brought back just how I felt about my dad's passing. It was - and still is -- hard to believe he is gone. More and more of us are experiencing these feelings as our parent's have passed, or soon will pass as we get older.

Know this, he loved you and your brother just as you have expressed your love for him. That will never die.

Thinking and praying for you and your family more than you know.

Peace - Bob Hunt

Brett,
I'm truly sorry about your Dad. Losing a parent is a terrible emotional burden. I know you're a strong person and a good man! You have my heartfelt condolences and my prayers.
We all know that this is the natural sequence of life but it's still difficult to bear.
I wish better times for you and your family my friend.

Tremendous thanks to everyone who wished us well. My dad went peacefully at about 2 this afternoon with my Aunt and myself in attendance. So I guess that is all.

Brett

My heart is heavy and is breaking for you and your family.
I know you will keep the memories and love close to your heart, and he will always be there.

Brett so sorry for your loss... but also optimistic that, like a lot of us... you may follow on with you life with great memories

Loss of my dad was traumatic as I beat the hell out of self for not spending more time with him...he and I actually lived the Cat's 'n the Cradle
song...to this day tears me up

He sounds like a great man who IMO obviously raised a good and successful son...

Deep respect sir

My condolences.
I'm glad your father's passing was quick and peaceful. He'll be smiling down on you now.

Will Hinton · « **Reply #65 on:** December 10, 2017, 05:10:17 PM »

My sorrow for your great loss, Brett. I pray the coming days will allow you to come to peace with life without him. It is obvious he was a wonderful dad and person.

Brett,
Sorry for your loss. I'm glad that you were there to lend some comfort in his last days. It is one of the things most of us go through during our lives that we can never seem to prepare ourselves for, even though it is an inevident fact of life. May he rest in peace.

Jim Kraft · « **Reply #71 on:** December 10, 2017, 06:45:27 PM »

So sorry Brett. I drive by the plant your dad built in Salina quite often and remember that he built it. Keep the good memories and the pain will go away in time, but not all of it.

john e. holliday · « **Reply #72 on:** December 10, 2017, 08:47:11 PM »

Brett it has all been said. May he rest in peace.

Serge_Krauss · « **Reply #73 on:** December 10, 2017, 08:53:15 PM »

I remember the time Dad passed away too. So just please understand that I understand. When a fine mind is lost, it's a loss for everyone, but the close love of one you know and honor is still the hardest of all. I wish you well and your Dad, Godspeed.

Paul Walker · « **Reply #74 on:** December 10, 2017, 10:57:51 PM »

Sorry for your loss Brett. It is never easy to let go of a loved one.
Know that I am thinking of you at this time.

Dan McEntee · « **Reply #75 on:** December 11, 2017, 09:23:08 PM »

I would like to add my thoughts and prayers for you and your family, Brett. I lost my Dad suddenly in 1965 when I was ten years old. Even this far down the line, there are things that can take me right back to that gray, rainy Sunday morning. It's something that you never quite get over. I can tell you this, though, and that is if you live to be 110 years old you will never forget him. It's amazing the things that I can't remember now, but things about my Dad that I have clear memories of. You will have those forever. I was fortunate to have met Bob Hunt's father, Jim, at VSC one year and enjoyed talking with him. I have not met you in person yet, (that I can remember) but from your descriptions of him I sure would have liked to have met your Dad. He sounds like my kind of guy. And from reading your descriptions of him and reading your posts all these years, I can say that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree! You are definitely your father's son.
With Deepest Sympathies and Warmest Regards,
Dan McEntee

Very sorry to hear of your loss Brett, but glad you could be with your dad when he passed. Take care.

Will Hinton · « **Reply #78 on:** December 12, 2017, 07:18:52 AM »

A very wise lady told me shortly after my first wife passed that, "Grief never ends, but it does change." I have fouind that to be true thus far. We'll be praying for you and the family.

Hi all.
No words for really helping in a moment like yours, Brett.
The feeling from an overseas guyreading the thread is you loved your dad, and for sure he loved you.

Keep that every day in your mind, will help you.

Warm wishes.
