Robert,
Hang in there- right now its the toughest time to deal with. Although you will never forget his passing (nor should you), with time, your sorrow and grief will lessen. I lost mine about 10 years ago and things I see almost everyday that (still) remind me of him. You can never prepare how to handle the loss of a loved one, you kind of learn as you go.
As you can see, you have a LOT of fans on this forum! You are one of the most talented members we have. (As you have fabricated NUMEROUS items for my son and I, I believe that I know of what I speak!). We NEED you here to keep educating us, "metal man"...:thumbsup:
Michael
