We lost my Dad Wednesday afternoon suddenly and unexpectedly. Mom found him laying in the basement after not being able to find him. He was 81 years old and they had been married 60 years. Especially keep my Mom in your prayers. She is having a hard time with with this as is to be expected after all the years together.

Here are a few pictures of some of the things Dad was into thus the reason I too am a motorcycle and old car enthusiastic. He and I spent a lot of time restoring old cars over the years. His loved his Studebakers and this Lark was his favorite. He even got the chance to drive it around the Indianapolis 500 track with the Studebaker's Drivers Club.

May you rest in peace Dad. I love you!

Doug, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad.

My thoughts and prayers go out to both you, Becky and the family.

I can see from the photos that your Dad enjoyed a very fufilling and happy life.

May peace be with you.
 
Fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed. May the love of your family and friends comfort you during these difficult days. Our most heartfelt condolences Doug to you and your mom, we offer our prayers up for you.
 
Thanks all for your kind words. Headed to the viewing here in a bit.

We took a trike ride for a bit this afternoon to clear our heads in some fresh air. Got to thinking about how much Dad liked riding motorcycles as I was looking over the windshield going down the road. Had a feeling he was riding along.
