today i lost my dad. im 18, and just been getting into this. got into it from being around my dad all the time, working with him, and being around him.

my dad used to race a red and white 67 Barracuda. its the car in my signature and avatar.

i know some of you guys probably knew him, or his father.

My sincere condolances to you and your family.

I can't imagine losing my dad at 18.

Your's was only 5 years older than me.

Sorry to hear this, John, your Dad was probably proud to see the work you've done to revive the old Barracuda.

WOW John - I'm very sorry to hear of this - your dad most definitely was way too young. One thing - your excitement and enthusiasm for getting the old car back on the track definitely comes through in your posts and questions. I'm sure he was excited by your joy for the project. Keep it going.

Prayers and sympathies for you.

John: I lost my dad when I was 39 years old and trust me it isn't any easier. Dad's are so very special and the lessons we learn from them are never forgotten. Like the others have said....remember the good times. I will be praying for your comfort and understanding thru all that you will go thru in the coming days. God Bless. John Team RFC

Man, so sorry to hear this. Believe me- being lost is part of it, your direction will return.

It just takes time.
