Sorry for your loss Brian, please accept my condolences.

Brian:

Sorry for your loss. I extend my most sincere condolences to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss, time will heal your grief but you will never forget him, and that is good.
As mentioned my dad passed 51 years ago, and @ times when I pick up a tool
of his, the handle is still warm from his touch.
One tool, a pair of duck bill shears that were his fathers, is significant.

I was small and wanted my own tool box so dad & I built one from a forsale sign in the scrap pile.
My little hands were too small/weak to make the shears cut the tin, so he put his weathered/wrinkled hand over mine to help cut it.
We carefully cut the tin where he made the lines and beat the corners with a tinners hammer over a vice to make corners.
I still have the tool box as well as all of his tools.
Now my hands are weathered more than his were @ the time, but it seems like yesterday.

Do not grieve long, as your dad will never be gone as long as he is alive in your memory & heart.
The creator makes it that way.:beerchug:

Condolences to you and your family. Loosing a loved one is hard. I think its a great idea to memorialize your dad's life with the restoration of the tractor. I'm sure it will bring you many hours of reflection time while also keeping your mind busy. Love to see your progress once you get started.

Brian my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. As others have said the grief will pass with time, But the memories will be with you the rest of your life. My dad passed 40 years ago and I can honestly say there hasn't been a day since I don't think of him.

Very sorry for your loss. If you need any guidance about bodywork or paint when you start the restoration don't hesitate to send me a pm, I'd be glad to help.

So sorry to hear about your Dad. Everyone is in our thoughts and prayers!

Very sorry for your loss. Fortunately the common bond you two had regarding things produced by IH is a vibrant passion shared by many so you will not have to look far to rekindle fond memories of his work, stories, past machines owned and used, etc. Hang in there.

Prayers sent for you and your family

Brian

Sorry for your loss. I lost both my parents in the last 3 yrs. Mom to cancer in March 2015 and dad to cancer December 2016. I also have my dad’s old Cub 100 I’m restoring. I started on it while he was still with us.
