Man, I'm so sorry.

My dad is a piece of shit, so always remember how lucky you are that you had a great relationship with yours.

Scott, I'm sorry about your dad. From what you said about him and the one time I met him he was a great person. If you need anything at all you know we're here for you. Brandon, Lisa (and Rhonda)

i remember how highly you spoke of him, and all the stories you told me about him.

Best wishes and prayers from the Cox Family

I want to say thank you to everyone for the well wishes. Also thanks to the people who tried to call. I didnt answer the phone for a few reasons, one, I have a hard time talking, I am sure you all understand. This is really tough for me. When you picture how a perfect father and son relationship should be, me and my dad are right there. He and I did everything together when I was growing up. When I was little, I would go out and help him in the garage work on cars, motorcycles and anything mechanical. I helped him sand down and color sand a 62 Karman Ghia. We traveled all over the country in that car. We went fishing and hunting and camping together just him and I. It was always me and Dad. When he came down a few weeks ago he returned to me a 22 Remington Fieldmaster pump rifle that he gave me when I was 10. He got it when he was around 10 or so from his father. He had taken it a few years ago to have refinished. It is back here with me now where I will put it in my gun cabinet and perhaps pass it on to my son. He told me when he was here last that he wanted me to have all of his guns when he passes. I told him I would rather have him. My desktop is now the last picture of him and me when I went down there a year or so ago. It will remain my desktop from now on. We all know it will happen, maybe for some it already has, for those of you, I truly know how you feel now. This is a pain that nobody should ever have to go through. He died of Pnumonia. He had it when he was here and cut his visit short because he wasnt feeling well. There are so many emotions running through me right now. Anger, sadness, but the one I dont feel is remourse. There wasnt a time when I didnt tell him that I loved him so I knew he would know how I felt. I talked to my sister tonight and she is suffering from that. She never told him. If you have not told your parents lately, make it a point to do so soon, you just never know when the time is up. This is the picture that will forever be on my computer desktop. Again, thanks to everyone.

Our condolences, man. good thoughts good thoughts good thoughts! be safe.

i,m sorry scott, have a save trip

Scott,

I only got to meet your dad back in 2003. i missed him on the last visit.

you know my number if you need anything. me and the girls said a prayer for him tonight.

Scott, as you sit and think of all the good times you spent with the most important man in your life, please find comfort in the hope of the resurrection.

You can see him again...

The pain you feel is what we would all be going through.
You are not alone.

Talk with your family and friends.

Again, find comfort.

Scott, My father came and visited me on my family for a couple hours on a Friday. He had a massive heart attack the following Tuesday and died 5 days later, back in November 2003. The one thing that kept me going was the pride that the last thing I said to my dad was "I love you, drive safe", as he had said to me many times before. I'm sure you had a similar experience.

Hang in there and remember the good times and especially the great conversations and advice only a father and son can share.

Scott, sorry to hear of your loss. This hits close to the heart for me. My dad passed April 16. It still hurts so bad. My dad was one of my best friends, we worked together and enjoyed some of the same hobbies. He's left a hole that won't easily be filled.

My thoughts are with you, if I can help let me know. Hang tough, but cry if you need to.

Hi Scott,

I lost my dad in november and my mom in december. It is hard but most of the the sadness will gradually be replaced with the good things you remember about your dad. It sounds like you had one of the best parents one could hope for. I'm sorry for your loss. Take care.

Scott, I am very sorry to hear about your father. My thoughts are with you.

This touches home as my mother is not in the best of health.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

Take Care, Don

Scott,

Sorry to hear about your loss.
I can only imagine what you are going through.
My Dad is also up in years and just got a pace maker.
I am also very close to my dad and I am not looking forward to the inevitable.

Scott: I know how you feel. I have lost both my parents and I still think about them every day. We are blessed with family and their passing leaves us alone in a complete and difficult way. May God watch over and protect you as you pass thru this dark passage in life. You will be in my thoughts.

My condolences Scott, I lost my dad in 1964 but still have my mom...just focus on the long and close relationship you were lucky to have with him. Take care.

my deepest sympathy.
yesterday was ten years since i lost my mom. my father was six months later.
i know the sorrow and pain that you feel. like people have said here the memories are such good medicine. what helped me during that time was going through just about all the photos from over the years, it brought out so much of the good times. i made a couple of photo boards to show the great times thru out my moms life for the memorial. best therapy for me at the time.

take care.
Troy
