Very sorry to hear it. You and your family have my sympathy, and my best wishes.
I’m sorry for your troubles, NoClueBoy. 
I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m very, very sorry for your loss, NCB. You’re in my thoughts.
Very sad news NCB. Take care of yourself. Eventually things will get (some) better.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your mom are in my thoughts.
I’d love to hear more about your dad, when you’re able.
I’m so sorry. I wish you and yours peace and strength.
May you find strength and peace in your time of sorrow. Our prayers are with you.
I’m very sorry for your loss, NoClueBoy.
I’m so sorry, NoClueBoy. Big, big hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss NoClueBoy. Your family and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know your sorrow. My father died two years ago. It’s not easy to lose a parent no matter how old we are.
I’m so sorry to hear it. I can’t imagine the pain.
I lost my father 30 years ago in March. I still miss him. I still dream about him sometimes. So, please be sure I understand that it hurts, really hurts, and you have my sympathy.
Don’t try to stifle the grieving; it takes longer that way. Try not to make any important decisions for at least the next few months. Take care of yourself: Be sure you eat regularly, and get enough sleep. If circumstances permit, take a few extra days off work, without planning anything in particular, and just chill out. If you all feel comfortable about it, you could spend some of that time with your Mom and brother.
And be glad you had him until you were mature. Yes, I know he died too soon, no matter how old he was; it always feels that way.
And remember: Take good care of yourself. It’s all too easy to forget things like meals and bedtime when you’re hurting inside. And if you do eat, it can feel like too much trouble to eat healthy.
You have lots of people here who sympathize. It’s a resource to use if you need it.

Don’t worry. I am well taken care of irl. Thanks to all for your kind words and helpful thoughts.
Very sorry to hear it.
I’m sorry to hear about your family’s loss
NoClueBoy, this may sound strange, but I hope that you are able to draw on your sense of humor to get you through this. Even through our tears we can remember those moments that made us laugh and that helps.
Peace and fair winds be with you.
Sorry for your loss, NCB. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Actually, one of the first things we did was to sit around and all tell stories about Dad, many of which were quite humourous. A few were told that were new to everyone else. My brother wanted some of those in the memorial service, but I convinced him to keep that short and serious, but share with all their friends at the reception (wake?) that a group of Mom and Dad’s friends threw at a local events center. Worked out well.
In going thru his military papers, I found some things that he never even told Mom (they met after his military service). He ended his military career as an intelligence specialist working in cryptography. All we had known previously was that he somehow had became very jaded with the idea of a military career and left to pursue an engineering career. I wonder just what happened to him to change his mind. He kept that a secret.
I also now have about 20,000 chromes to go thru. He quite liked photography. Was pretty darn good at it, too. I’m the kid that was favoured with that like interest. He gave me my first camera, a Baby Rollie, when I was five. Been a photographer ever since.
It’s nice that you have something special that you shared.
I lost my father 4 years ago in July. We weren’t real close but he taught me to play chess when I was a kid. I’m not very good at it but anytime I play now I think of him.
My sympathies on your loss.
