Les*1066 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 My heart goes out to you and your Mum, Dean. Your Dad sounds like he was one in a million, and I'm sure you will have many happy memories to remember him by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm sad for your loss, don't get rid of all his tools or parts he made as in the future they will stimulate fond memories. I often use tools in my garage that belonged to my late Dad and Uncle it give you a nice warm feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Dean! I am so so sorry for your loss! I can not even come close to imagining how you must feel at the moment! But if there I anything we can help you with! Just give us a shout! My grandad was a bit of a funny ******! Engineering wasn't his forte! If anything broke! Or didn't work! Out came the persuader (his hammer) we used to be creased watching him! But Dad is a wizz with electronics! And engines, and pretty much anything mechanical, time served with Parsons! Grandad shot, but dad didn't. There seems to be a lot of similarity between our parents! I remember my dad having his heart attack, that pretty much destroyed me! But to LOSE a parent must be so awful. Like I say! ANYTHING you need, please just hollar! Thinking of you on your time of darkness! And hope a light shines through.
