It really makes me feel like you got to enjoy the man that was my father even though you never met him. Thru his posts you could tell the kind of man he was. I can't say enough of the great things that have been said about him. It really makes me feel special. Thanks for everything and I will try to keep posting some of the things he used to say and share them with you all.

Sounds like a tremendous send-off and the respect that he so deserved. This is VERY IMPORTANT. We would LOVE to hear the things he shared with his son. Nuggets of wisdom. Even stupid things you may not feel relevant or would be understood by us Covers Degenerates. Remember...Your father spoke in a way that everyone here understood.
~~~~~ZOSO~~~~~
God has taken a good man from us.

May he rest in peace.

My sympathies to you and yours jcmhou1, live your life as your father would want you to, and know that the pain you feel now, will eventually ease. It may not seem possible now, but it will.

Apache.....a man among men.
I've been around covers for a long time, seen a lot of people come and go. None more influential than your father.
Good jokes, great perspective, outstanding human being. All of this through a gambling forum. I can only hope that I can live my life like he did and have a positive impact on others.
Take comfort in knowing your dad was a good man...and will be surely missed.

My father-in-law does the same thing. He'll say "Does a bear sh*t in the woods?". LOL.
It's incredible how powerful words are - reading through your posts brought me to tears. May your dad RIP and may your family find comfort and strength in this difficult time.
Thank you for sharing something so very personal.

He's not gone. Memories never die IMO. We all have no idea how what will happen to us. Heart attack? Cancer? Accident?
For the most part we have the ability to remember. And that's what counts.
I still remember when my grandma passed away. My dad did the eulogy. The last thing he said? "Move on we will. Forget her, we won't."
