Sorry to hear of your Fathers passing....he was a lot like a Hero that I had ( my own Father) . I like the way you said what you said and everytime I tighten a nut now I will think of two fathers who raised two different boys practically the same way. God Bless you and your family CBoy.

 

Nice writeup man, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. It sounds like he lead a full and rich life. Surely the quality of your work speaks well of your relationship with the 'ol man.

Rest in peace, hang in there bud-

Sorry to hear about your father. Our prayers are with you.
My Dad passed in 1972 at the age of 59. And like your Dad, he nurtured the gearhead abilities of my two brothers and me. We have developed slightly different tastes over the years, but all three of us are still into the hot rods.

 

Sorry to hear about your dad. The memories you have and the way you talk about him will live on.
You talk so well of him and I am sure he was proud of the things you have done. He will be in everything you do and that is a great thing.
I hope everything goes well.

 

My dad died 3 years ago and I feel your sentiments 1000%. No matter how old you are or how successful or how big a family you have fostered, there is no more alone feeling in the world than when your parents leave you.

 

Im very sorry for you loss. 93, wow he most certainly led a full and wonderful life. The next time I burn my tires it will be for him.

 

throttle blipped my brotha'.

 

I feel for ya, I lost my dad back in 99, to this day I can still see him sitting in the corner of my shop waiting to take a customer home. He and my mom helped me out for the first 6+ months after I opened my doors. I think it was the best 6+ months to get to know my mom and dad as people not as parents. He was also my hunting buddy, I was never in the deer woods one time without him until he passed away. I still have a hard time on opening day of deer season. One nice thing is he lives on in me as yours in you. Take care of yourself and yours. My heart goes out to you.

My father was a VW mechanic. Great sense of humor, laughed at himself a lot (like I do myself) and treated everyone with respect.
He passed away June 5th, 1975 just 20 days before my 8th Birthday.
Hold onto all your memories and be glad you had a chance to make the great ones you did. I remember bits n pieces of my Dad, but not enuff.
Hope everything works out 4 ya Cboy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hg

 

Needs to be a lot more dads like yours these days. My friends would just as soon buy the kids a new x-box game as to spend any time with their kids. Keep up the good example of spending time with your own children. If not hot rods, then figure out what they like. The probably admire you just as much.

 

From the schnitz household, Dewey, we both feel for your loss. I'll rap one out for you in the morning in his honor. Even at 93, his life was still too short. Woody will be remembered in memories for life in all the lives he touched through the years.


In a while, Chet

 

That was a nice memorial, Dewey, I feel for you. I lost my Dad in 1984, he taught me how to catch, turn a wrench, took me to the races and got me hooked on cars. God bless. Dan

 

Sorry for your loss.....My dad died in 84, my mom last November. My dad brought home old junk and fixed it up....Guess that's where I get it from...

 

Very sorry for your loss

When I was a young man it really hurt to see all the guys with there father , being able to do thing together as a father and son . So in your sorrow remember all the great times you two had together in is 93 years . Again my best to you and your family at this time.

Cboy, thanks for sharing your loss with us. You have revived some wonderful memories of my Dad. I will celebrate your Dad's passing. Would liked to have known him in person, but am proud to know him through you.

Sorry for your loss Dewey. My prayers are with you and your family. Nowadays having a father who teaches their kids something is a rare comodity. I cherish every moment I spend with my father and Im very blessed that he's so aproving of this car hobby. Wish I coulda known your dad, but the way you always help others out and take your time to explain things and share your knowledge shows that your dad did a heck of a job raising you. I'll throw the battery into the old Fargo today and rev one up for him :welcome:

Take care,


Mike

 

Sorry for your loss CBoy.

 

Every time I turn the key to my 55, I think of my uncle, who was more of a father to me then my father.Reading your story made me think of Uncle Bob and all the time we had together, I hope that there are other people who have someone in their lives like you and I did, for we were blessed to have them. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Phil

 

Sorry to hear of your loss Dewey. But we know going into it that this is just a short stop in our destination to our final place. We will all eventually meet again on the other side. Hold your head high and proud that you have learned from one of the best and have been instilled with mannerisms that will be carried on to the next in line. Condolences to you and the family.

Kevin

 

We too have our thoughts and prayers with you. Also, thanks for sharing this with us. There will be some blipping, no doubt.

You have made me think about how much my Dad has taught me as well. He has always been firm and me stubborn, so there is always some clashing. I am 30 and he is 65, I pretty much grew up with either tools, sanding block or a paint gun in my hands, I thank him greatly for it. Just about everything I know has come from him, and that will never be forgotten just as with you and your father. Always keep him with you and he will be there...

God Bless,

Jason

 

Well written! It put me a little speechless.

I'll rip a few RPMs as I leave work in honor of your dad, Dewey!

God speed, Woody!!

 

Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like your Dad was a great guy. I remember how I felt when my Dad died suddenly December 1987. I still miss him and think of him often. The strange thing is he had told me long before he died that he would not live past 60 years old. Reading about your Dad made me think back to all the years we worked together on the farm. Things were not always rosy between us but we had a lot of good times. I miss the good times.

 

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Try to remember that one's existance is not what is important but rather the legacy left behind.

My Grandfather was the most inspiring person in my life. He passed a few years back and to this day I find myself shedding tears when I think of him...

I have tried to carry on with what he taught me in the best way that I know how, which I feel is an honor to his memory.

I will do more than blip the throttle in your father's memory, I shall shred a set of tires to honor him...without people that take the time to pass on their knowledge, just where would we be?

 

I'll rap it a few time for ya!
