Dad passed away

Thanks all. Its kinda taken for granted that we all have awesome supportive parents, not all of us do unfortunately, I was one of the very lucky ones that did.
When I was younger I pushed the boundaries and tried his patience, but he was always supportive and levelheaded. Not being home for almost 2 years now has been wearing on both Lori and I, so this forum/family here has allowed me a way to express myself, blow off steam and have some fun. Even now I can still push boundaries and patience...LOL
I pass along my condolences to the other members who have lost somebody close. Its a tough go for everyone.
If I was home I would be able to go and putter in the garage and make some sawdust with some of dads woodworking tools. Lord knows there will be a list a mile long once I do get there LOL.
Reading this brought a tear or 2, but I feel better.
Thanks!

Here's a couple more pics. 1st one Dad was President of Minor Hockey Association in Stayner. Its our end of year banquet. He's in the middle with the tan jacket. To his right is Johnny Bower and to Johnnys right is Leon Stickle, dad was able to get them as guests. Being a Leafs fan and about 10 years old I was so proud and stoked!

2nd pic is Dad and my 2 Uncles Rick(in the middle) and Ron(to Ricks left). Ron came with us Dad n I to Colorado for the cuda. What a trip! My poor Ford was never the same...LOL
