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

John,
I am very sorry for your loss...my condolences to the Sealock family.
What ever you do , DONT give up. Your dad left you a special gift. You just dont know it yet. You'll relaize it soon enough.
Cherish the memories, and dedicate everything you do to the car to him.
We are all yor friends here. Funny thing about the Moparts family, is there is almost always someone here 24/7 to "hear you out". Use us.

Re: I lost my dad today - 07/29/09 12:57 PM
I am very sorry to hear this. My son and I have have been racing together for about 15 years and worry that if something happened to me, what would my family do. All I would want is for them to be happy and safe and doing what they enjoy, with as little hardships as possible on them. Hopefully I have taught them all I can, and they can discern what I was right or wrong about. Your Father just passed to a higher level but He can see and hear and enjoy your experiences,and there will be times when you do something,you will know He is right there, and you will smile. My father died in 86 and I still think of him daily, and I talk to him, and his memory always makes me smile. God Bless!

nothing much any of us here can say to ease the pain or emptyness you`re feeling now.time will ease the pain but you will never forget the good times you and your dad had racing together.part of the reason dads and sons go race together is to create memorys for times like this.believe me your dad will be riding along every time you pull on your helmet.
im so sorry for your loss.my father passed away five years a go on the tuesday before the mopars nats.this is a rough time of year for me.there is not a single day i do not think of him.he is the reason i love cars so much.going to the dragstrip and hanging out in the garage with him when i was young molded my future as a car nut.do your dad proud and finish your dream car and be the best person you can in life.i believe thats what all parents hope for there childern.myself and family have you and your family in our prayer.steve.

i went by my work, hung out at the shop, talked with everyone, had some lunch, and did some more work on my honda motor for my car. went by where he worked, i hated seeing his toolbox locked up, and everything where he left it, and his bay empty...
i feel like im at home when im at the shop. i need to get to the race track next chance i can!
thank you everyone!
John
I am SORRY about your loss.
I also lost my dad early, I was 17 and he was involved in a train wreck, he was 43.
There is NO way anyone can prepare for the impact of loosing a parent early.
I am like you and am trying to keep his memory alive thru me and the cars we have and own.
I leaned upon a lot of friends and family to help get thru the hard times. And I do mean there will be some Hard Times.
Try and Remember all the Good times you spent with him and around him.
Take Care of yourself and any Family that may need your shoulder to cry on or an ear to talk too.
My Prayers are with You and Your Family.

My dad passed away just over 20 years, it still hurts enough that I passed by your post a number times without reading. But now that I'm here and see you are 18, I can't begin to understand your pain. I will say that in the most positive way, you have not "lost" your Dad, you get keep his memories forever. Sounds like he was a good Dad.

I lost my dad when I was 8. I used to hang out in my dad's shop also in 1968. I remember when I had to use the little boy's room to piss. Don was always trying to get me to catch a charged condensor everytime or when I was cleaning parts in the solvent tank.
Being 18, you are a man now. Things change us for the rest of our lives. Being 49 now, I am grateful just to be around in his presence. I know your dad loved you, so be strong and carry his name proudly. Steve DeTar

You are at a very young age to experience this loss, but your posts here show a desire to honor your Dad, take care of the family, and carry on the Mopar tradition and passion that you and your Dad shared.
He must've been a great Dad, to have raised such a fine son. I know you'll miss him, but I'm sure you are making him proud right now.

I feel for you. I can only imagine the sorrow that you must feel. Makes me very thankful for how much time my dad still spends with me and this car.

I too lost my dad at a young age. It was over twenty five years ago and I still remember him like it was yesterday. I still find myself talking to him when I'm building something and things are not going right. It's seems like we are working on it together and he is helping me out.
Take care of yourself and my thoughts are with you.

John I had what i always tell everyone the best dad a guy could have. We were a 100% mopar family. I lost him 28 yrs ago at my age of 26 and the older i get the more i miss him. He would take my mopars of the day to work with him if i needed something welded or something i couldn't do at home. I remember him taking my duster back then that i had built up and told all the guys he worked with that it would pass anything but a gas station .Made us all laugh, And in his hospital bed he let me borrow his wrist watch because mine had broke,and he asked me,, son don't lose my watch... To this day that watch is in my toolbox my buddies see and say You still have that watch? I tell them dad said not to lose it so it,s where i know it will always be. Im sorry about the long letter but this sure brought back memories. Hang in there and our prayers will be with you and your family.

haha, dartphil, thanks!
thats going to be with his toolbox, nothing is going missing from the box. he hated when something wasnt where it should be, or how it should have been in there... like his ratchet and extension drawer... i never could get them in right like he wanted haha.
thanks guys!
