Mike, my condolences for your father's passing. He and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers. The father-son relationship is truly a special one as I have with my father and am trying to instill in my 2 year old. He did a great job with you. Always here for you my friend and it is good to see you back.

...And it was a blessing.
He suffered tremendously with Joint, bone and other pains, along with an inability to oxygenate his blood, holes in his heart, and extremely low blood pressure.
My dad never saw me drive on a road course, but was the reason I got into cars. He never understood what I did for a living. All he knew was that I was his "baby". We didn't see eye to eye on much. But his work ethic, his morals and his desire to teach people will forever live in me, and through me. If you have ever read anything I'd DIY'ed or helped explain, it was because of him.
He was a great man, my hero and he will be missed.

My condolences Mike, I remember a couple of months ago you mentioned to me that you were taking care of your sickly parents on renntrack, which is why you didn't really have time to do any DIY sessions at home.
I can relate as my father past away a week and a half ago. Keep your head up as time will heal all wounds.
