My father passed away

My father was a faithful lurker that always got his tiger news from here. He introduced me to the website many years ago, and as it got difficult for him to visit the site I would read him the topics and posts. It always brought a smile to his face. He was a truly wonderful man and an amazing father. I hope I did him proud with his obituary. I'm going to miss him like crazy. Obituary
50

Sorry about your father. Mine passed back in December, it's certainly never easy, but it sounds like he had a long well-lived 80 years.

Sorry for your loss man, a right of passage losing our folks. Knowing for sure we will reunite with them one day(for a fact).

The obituary was indeed touching. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I think he threatened to beat my arse one day. He would have done it too, tough old dude.
Sincerest condolences.

Sorry for your loss. Solid job on the obituary. Your dad sounds like a great guy beloved by many.

That's very touching to me. My Dad has 20k words of his isms that he is working on publishing.... At 80. Some of those guys have a never quit side. I can see that in your Dad. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry for your loss.
Or even someone cracking on me, that’s fine too.
Take care.

So sorry for your loss. He seemed like a great man who lived a great life. I think you wrote a very good obituary and he’d be very proud. Prayers for you and your family through this time.

Sorry to hear this. Wonderful obit; he sounds like an absolutely ace guy.

My condolences on your loss and prayers to you, his family, and his friends.
My Pops passed going on nine years ago, and it is still tough at times. Eventually the good memories and great stories wear away at the pain of grief, smooth its edges a bit, and make it more manageable. It is still there, but the memories shine brighter most of the time.

Sounds like you skipped over sfp’s posts!

I’m genuinely enjoying picturing you reading posts to him
Debating top ten lists, describing babe threads.
Lighthearted fun aside- sounds like a heavy loss. Glad you have many great memories.
