Really sorry to hear your sad news Andy, please accept my condolences.
I lost both my parents very quickly more than 30 years ago and it takes some time to come to terms with it.
Just remember all the good times you had, for months after my parents died, I spent time looking through all the old photgraphs, it helped me.
A glass is raised to your dad.

As said elsewhere, our love and thoughts to you and yours Andy.


Glass raised to your Dad, The Champion Bodger

Thanks again everyone


...and Pete, please note that in the line I come from, it's an "O" not an "A"
(and when dad passed away at the age of 85, he'd still not turned grey)

Found another pic of Dad on his BSA with Mum on the back ...... protective clothing wasn't quite such a priority back then ......

sincere condolences Andy , thinking of you and your family.
Also thinking of my own dad who passed away last September.I used to coss about him being a pain in the neck , but boy do I wish he was still here to have a chat with.
Nice tribute to him with the photos ,wish I'd done something similar

So sorry to hear this Andy. He sounds like a great fella. Cherish your memories and know he's now resting and peaceful.

Thinking about you and yor family.

My condolences. Sounds like he had a good innings and for us It's the time of life I'm afraid...... Kid's weddings and being a Grand dad to look forward to though.

Sorry to hear about this - my best wishes from the Antipodes.

Sorry for your loss, as said before you were obviously very close and he'll be missed, but i'm sure he's keeping and eye on you now.
All the best bud, at this sad time.

Aw, all the best. Sorry for your loss. My old man died a good few months after having a stroke, was a very difficult time for us all. He had 32 motorbikes in total and was always in a boilersuit and smelled of oil with a jauntily placed flat cap on. He was almost a Southern Fred Dibnah..

Condolences Andy. He sounded a proper old-skool gent. Tipping a large JD his way

Sorry for your loss - my condolences. It sounds like your dad was a great fella, nice to see the old pics and read your description..

I'm very sorry to hear the news, D-Rider.

Here's to Mr. D-Rider Senior.

condolences D-rider, sounds like a great guy, gone but not forgotten.

Thanks again everyone.

I've been pretty busy of late organising the funeral.
That's scheduled for Wednesday (the only day it could be fitted in before I have to go to Spain for work).
Happens to be the birthday of my 2 eldest sons - one will be 26 the other 24 on that day.
