I knew the day was coming and spent years making sure there were no regrets but the loss of that old school knowledge, wisdom, mentor and friend is tough. I was fortunate to spend a considerable amount of time with my father but even in those last moments you learn something new and realize how much you are about to lose. My dad passed Monday and I was blessed to be with him every step of the way to his next journey what ever that may be. So much knowledge lost it sucks. Do what you can to pass on to those willing to learn. God speed pops.

My condolences to you and your family.

I guess, in a way, it was good for you to know it was coming. You knew to pay attention, to learn. When my Pops passed, I was just becoming aware of my own arrogance, and just starting to learn from the man who made my world possible. He made me see that I couldn't change who I was, but I could change who I'd become.

Even when you expect it it is not the way you thought it would be. I was fortunate that my dad made it to his 80’s and I was able to spend the time I did and take him back to spend time in his home town. It has just made my realize how much knowledge we lose when those around us pass. We spend our whole lives learning and bam it’s gone.

UL, sorry for the loss. I can relate, lost my pops in 2010. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him or what he might think about something I'm doing. You are exactly right, a lifetime of experience & knowledge vanishes in a blink of an eye. The torch is now officially passed to you, based on my communications with you, your father did a great job.
