In memory of my dad

My father passed away suddenly on Saturday while I was in Cuba due to a brain hemorrhage. He was only 56 years old. Needless to say, the last few days have been very tough, which is why I haven't posted much since my return from Cuba.

In his memory, I'll post a father and son coin duo (feel free to post your own fathers and sons coins) and I would also like to remind you all that if you still have your fathers around, give them a call and tell them how much you love them, and resolve any unresolved issues, because you never know what life could bring tomorrow. I sure wish I had given him an extra goodbye kiss and hug now before leaving on my trip, but how was I to know then that this would happen?

At least I was blessed to have him in my life for 32 years, and plenty of memories and good life lessons from him that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and hopefully pass on to my son. My dad, Orlando, was a chemist. He was devoted to his work, his family, and his friends. He taught me the value of honesty and hard work from the time I was a small child. He was also a great and loving grandfather to my son. If the true measure of a man is the legacy he leaves behind, then my dad left a good legacy, because I can honestly say I never knew my dad to have wronged anyone. He lived a simple, straightforward, and hardworking life. I love you dad. Thank you for everything. You will always be in my heart.

I deeply regret your loss. I very much understand your grief. Best to you.

 

Wow...sorry.

 

Lo sineto mucho Que El Senor le conceda la paz eterna.

With deepest regrets Paddy

 

I am truly sorry for your loss, I lost my Dad suddenly also. I can't post any coins right now, but am thinking of you and your family.

 

With sincere sympathy to you Sallent!
I can relate... my father also passed away from a brain hemorrhage at the young age of 58. This happened 16 years ago and it's always been sad for me and the family. He started me in coin collecting 30 years ago. Here is the first Mint Error that he acquired and he gave to me. I sent it to NGC

 

Sorry to hear of your loss........

 

I'm very sorry for your loss.

My dad died young like yours. It's been 16 years but I still miss him like it was yesterday.

 

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

 

Man, and I thought I was having a tough month. I'm really sorry for your loss. My father passed 33 years ago this month. I still miss him and wish he were around so I could talk to him. Because of my career, I never found the time while he lived. Sad.

In honor or your father, here is a coin with father and sons.

 

Sorry to hear Oz. But it sounds like he lived a great life.
I can't think of a single father and son coin that I have but I do have this one some nice guy gave me.

 

Sorry for your loss Sallent.

 

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that Sallant!

My dad is 85 and doing pretty well, just visited with him last weekend. Mom died going on three years ago, that was devastating so I totally understand. My condolences and best wishes to you and your family.

 

Oh Sallent. I'm so so sorry. Condolences and peace to you and your family.

 

Damn Sallent sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My condolences to you.

 

So sorry to hear of your loss, my friend. Your Dad was an amazing person. I know he will always live in your heart. Prayers, tonight, for you and your family.........

 

Thank you all for the kind words, prayers, and thoughts. It means a lot to me. God bless you all.

 

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. What a shock that must have been. My condolences.

 

Sorry for your loss @Sallent.

I lost Dad almost 9 years ago and Mom this past November.

Sounds like you have many good memories of your dad. Cherish all of them.
