I'm feelin ya dice- almost lost my 84 yr old father in law a couple weeks ago, I think of him like he's my dad also- paramedics were working on him, had to go to the bathroom so I wouldn't "lose it " in front of the kids, he came out ok this time but his number may be any day now, mine for that matter as well-who knows ??

Sorry Buddy...

Give Mrs. Dice a big hug from all of us and let her know how sorry we are to hear of her loss.

for those of you who met my wife

although i never met your misses,im truly sorry for your loss,god bless.

hope this is not in bad taste (sorry if any one is offended

Only scotts really know how to put the "fun" in funeral

come to think of it a funeral is the celebration of a life

The only good thing about a funeral if one can think of one is that the food is better than at a wedding. Other than that they are both just a like.

Dice

Please give Clair our condolences.

Thank you all, I really appreciate it. Furneral is over, life continues, time marches on.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I dread the day I lose my best friend (mom) she is only 57 and has been sick on and off these last few years. You try and prepare yourself but it doesn't help. Keep your chin up.

glad He's at rest

he was part of the generation that saved the world for all of us .

he'll be in my prayers tonight

Sorry Dice what a sad loss prayers and condolence from the bear family. What a hard decision it really takes a lot to make it even when you know it is best thankfully you had what it takes to do it . I hope your wife is well and with your help and time can deal with this great loss.

I have been exercising almost every day, and that kinda sucks at first, and eating healthy. I am down around 200lbs now and even feel better, It gets a little easier every day.
Great job on the smoking, that is without a doubt one of the worst things you can do to yourself. Having a beer on occasion is actually healthy, not getting pounded every day I mean. When I hear about guys dying in their 40's and 50's and even 60's it really makes ya think. When you were real young you thought that was old, different story now.

Thats why I'm trying so hard cut back/quit the stuff that was surely killing me- smokes and alcohol. I want to be an excellent Grandad!

Our condolences..To Mr/Mrs Dice family as well.

He made have gone home,but you always be reminded of him from and thru some of the reaction and looks that the kids will give you.gone but never forgotten.

You sure are a class act there Dice.The torch has been pass and I'm sure you will do well.

I am also sorry for your loss.

But you know truly. That, when you can sit back and reflect on a mans life in such the way you have described, it must make it somewhat easier to manage the pain of loss. He sounded like an absolute gem of a man. A real man. A man that touched numerous other lives. There is dignity and honor in that with an unspeakable measure. And although the emotional pain of loss is there with you guys, it's got to be something to also reflect back with pride, that her old man was a great man. The cycle of life is always present. Make it count.

Dice, your wife is a lucky woman to have had a man in her life such as her dad, but I got to tell you, your a class act as well. I wish you both my deepest sympathy's.

Dice; My heart felt condolences, my father passed away this summer (81) it's not easy to deal with. It's funny some of the memories that come back to you, things that you haven't thought of in 20,30,or even 50 years. We all sat around and told story after story alot of tears and laughs, that helps an awful lot.


Best wishes, VMC1161

My heartfelt condolensces.

Sorry to hear of your loss, may God bless and protect you and family.

That's too bad Diceman, my sympathies. It will not be easy but at least he had a long full life. I liked Rob10's post,
