Tony. Sorry to hear of your loss. It is hard to lose a Dad. Mine has been gone many years, but he keeps popping up in my thoughts and memories to this day. Same with Mom. All we can do is carry on as best we can and look back on the great memories they gave us. Oir prayers are with you and your family. Lawson Cox.

Sorry for your loss, my Dad passed 2 years ago. He taught me like your Dad taught you. First engine rebuild on a 1955 Chevy in 1969. He was a Ford man. !950s Ranch Wagons, 60s Falcon Station Wagon, 70s LTD. I now have a Ford an I will think of him as I work on it. The guys on the Power Wagon forum really supported me as The Ford guys are supporting you. It does help.

Tony my heartfelt sympathies goes out to you and your family.
I lost my Dad 4 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him- It does become more bearable with time but still hurts.

Not being able to grieve with your family makes it even harder. I have had a few patients whose family have travelled for the funeral from overseas -The service was delayed to enable their relatives to do the required 2 weeks isolation in a designated facility, Most however have elected to be part of the funeral online

Thinking of you -Karl
