This early morning marks one year from my father's passing... Here's to all forum members who have lost family members in recent years. May their souls rest in peace....

Bottoms up....

Rest in peace to your father... mine passed away two years ago in June, and to this day I still miss him terribly.

Not a "recent" pic... but the only one I have handy.

I hear you brother. My Dad passed on Halloween day in '08. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't see or hear something that reminds me of him. I still have his piece o' crap Kawi Vulcan taking up a huge amount of room in my garage. He was the only one that could keep that pig running for more than 5 miles and unfortunately, I think he took the secrets with him..

May they rest in peace.

Man I miss my dad some days... he gave it the good fight and kept his sense of humor till the end. Give it the double guns.

Died too young. 59

Random shot of him and I way back when with his Ford Truck. He loved that truck and hated to sell it, but mom was pregnant with my brother. To make it worse he sold it to a guy in the back of the subdivision so he had to watch it drive by daily

Another one of him and I on the classic swing set. Love his blue jean get-up.

And about a year before he passed

RIP Dad... love and miss you.
