Condolescence to you and your family. I recently lost my brother and the good times seem to be what I remember. It sounds like the many good memories will be there for you also.

Jake I'm so sorry for your loss. You are a lucky man to have had such a fine example. I am in close to the same situation with my father in law. He has been living with us the past 2 years. He is a fine man but has struggled with health issues as long as I've known him (17 year). 3 open heart surgeries later & multiple strokes. I expect to find him someday as you found your dad. I have been expecting it for years. Don't know what I'll do when it happens. He's been the father I never had growing up. I wish you nothing but the best in this trying time. If there is anything I can do please let me know. You & your family are in my prayers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks guys.. This is really rough.

I'll post some pics of him and etc later.

He was a great Dad and one hell of a tough man... He was also a really great employee that was always on the clock as either our night watchman or answering the phones..

Like I said on my forums, if I am even 1/2 the man that he was that would be a true accomplishment.

Jake, I've never bought your products but I've always enjoyed reading your posts. What you wrote about your Pops is pure poetry. He obviously did a great job raising you... you're blessed.

Congratulations Jake on having an outstanding friend, father and advocate.

It is rare these days, to see the essence of an American hero- the basic, real, and invariable nature of a thing or its significant individual features that defines what we all stand for.
Perseverance;
True Grit was a phase coined in America for the men that made our country great.

That steady persistence in adhering to a course of action, a belief, or a purpose; steadfastness.
Commitment;
To who you are and what you stood for. And what you would stand up to.

I see that commitment ingrained in you and your expectations -you- now require of others you deal with.
Integrity;
Not perfection, but acknowledging when you went down in a fight but got back up again- not out self-pride or fear of losing, but knowing that winning...
is -more- about getting back up again.

I am honored to meet your Father in you Sir- and he is honored- by you Jake.
Nothing ends or erases the measure of a man.
Someday you will see him again, happy to shake your hand~ To: Harry Raby!

Sorry to read this Jake. It must have been very special for you to have a dad in your life. It sounds like you are what you are because of him. That's a wonderful gift.

Jake & family,

My condolences on the loss of your dad. I talked to your dad last year and know you both are cut out of the same cookie doe. He was very proud of you & it showed through in many ways. My prayers are with you and the family.

I would like to extend my condolences and prayers to you and your family. He sounds alot like my late grandfather and that was the man who raised me, taught me that a hand shake still meant something and honesty was always the best policy. They don't make them like that amymore! Cheers to Mr. Raby!

I lost my Dad to a heart attack 26 years ago but he will always be with me. As long as you have memories and think of him sometimes, he will never be gone.
Cheers, Elliot

My condolences for your your loss Jake. I spoke with your dad while trying to reach you on a couple of occasions. He did tell me stories... and he made me laugh. I am sure he is already missed deeply, but he is at peace now.
