A few weeks ago my father, (The greatest man that ever lived and my best friend) came up to visit me from Texas where he was enjoying his retirement. He was an officer in the Navy for most of his life, he worked at PARC on the first computer systems and worked for Scientific Data Systems now known as Xerox for 27 years. He could do anything and everything. I just got a phone call from my step mom that he passed away this morning. I wont be around for awhile, I am heading down to Texas to say my last goodbyes to my best friend.

Scott, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Take comfort in the fact that you two were close. At least you have no regrets about your relationship. Our condolences go out to you.

Take care,
Jenny

I am so sorry, Scott.

I am glad to know that you were close with him, sounds like he had a big influence on you, as an example.. for sure.

Hard to lose a family member, and hard to lose a friend.

Peace, buddy. Be safe.

So sorry to hear the bad news Scott. Sounds like you have a lot of great memories of your father. Keep those memories in mind and share them with others. It will help a little. Jes and I send you and your family our best wishes.

-Tony

My thoughts are with you.

My Dad is also my hero and has some major health problems and I know that day is coming soon, I don't know how I'll make it through it and don't even want to think about it.

Stay strong Scott, we have all read of your recent misfortune and only wish you the best in overcoming these trials- if you need anything, let us know.

You know what they say about 914 drivers.

We are a driver of a special breed.

Sounds like you got it from your Dad...

Heart felt sympathy goes to you and yours.

Scott, our deepest condolences to you. I still can't find a place sometimes in my daily routine, since losing my Dad in January this year. I did put up lots of his pictures in my shop, and this really picks my spirits up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)
