zoid, I am so sorry for your loss, but that was an amazingly lovely tribute. Your dad sounds like a man I would’ve been honored to know because he understood that life was about making the world a better place. May you take comfort in all that he contributed and may he rest in peace while his legacy continues.
My condolences, zoid. May you and your family find comfort and peace in this difficult time. He sounds like a wonderful man, and I would have loved to have eaten at his table.
I felt exactly the same way when my father passed away. Best regards.
zoid - my deepest condolences to you and your family - he sounds like a wonderful man.
I can’t say more than what other posters have said in this thread, zoid. That was a lovely tribute to what sounds like a great man. My condolences.
I’m sorry for your loss, zoid. I know what you mean about feeling alone–my dad passed away at 80 last Christmas Day, and I often get these random zaps (usually in the middle of the night) where I realize that I don’t have any parents anymore.
Your dad sounded like he was a great guy, and that was a lovely tribute.
I am sorry for your loss, zoid. Your father sounds like a man well worth knowing.
While I’m sorry for your loss, I’m also that you grew up knowing a great dad.
Thanks for sharing him with us, and please feel free to tell us more.
Take care of yourself and your family.
Godspeed to your father.
Thank you all 
So sorry to hear this. Glad you had such a great father.
I’m sorry for your loss and happy for the pleasant memories that you have.
zoid–I lost my Dad, too.
He sounds like a really great guy. I’m very sorry for your loss…
I am very sorry for your loss, but very grateful for the beauty of your tribute to your father.
Amen.
Regards,
Shodan
Big hugs, my friend.
I’m sorry for your loss, zoid. That was a lovely tribute you wrote and it sounds like your dad was a great man.
I’m so sorry, Zoid. It’s rough to lose a Dad, but at least it sounds like he didn’t suffer.
(((Zoid))) It sounds like you had a wonderful dad. I’m sorry for your loss, but I’m glad his end was peaceful.
He was a good man. All peace to you and your family.
