Lost my dad

[sapman]

We lost my dad last Tuesday. Massive stroke Monday morning, then held on til about 4 the next morning. We are all grateful that he didn't suffer much, if at all. But he is greatly missed. He was really a huge part of my life. I don't think I had any projects that he wasn't a part of, usually in a big way.

He was 87. Grandma lived to 98, so he/we thought he had many years left. Just the evening before I was helping him finish up an addition to his woodshed. He hauled a lot of sap and emptied thousands of buckets over the years.

He always enjoyed visiting other sugarmakers with me. One of my friends called him pops and said he was dad's 2nd maple son! He really loved the visit from Dave Yeany several years ago. He loved talking about trapping, and how it was in the good old days.

Praying we will be reunited again someday at the end of time .

Sorry for your loss, Tim. He is in a better place now. My prayers go out to all who were close to him.

Tim,

I'm very sorry to hear of your father's passing.

And as for projects, he'll just be looking over you instead of being aside of you.

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad.

Sounds like he had a long, good life. No one can take away those good memories.

Old trappers hold a place in my memories and soul, they are an endangered species. This world has surely lost a jewel and heaven has gained a saint. You will never stop missing him and the best medicine for heartache is good memories and lots of love. God be with you and give you peace.
