Funeral arranged for next week, I will be on the next flight back home after that...
 
Please accept my condolences, Jerry. This is a time of hardship and challenges for you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

One more thing I wanted add is while I did not have the opportunity to meet your dad, I think it safe to say, he raised a fine son. That my friend is a life well spent. It is to be celebrated.
 
Thank you everyone. I normally don't post personal stuff, but lost control.

The bond we have in these classic bikes amazes me. Like when I moved to Colorado a few years ago, I joined the NOC. Instant friends. We have so much in common, having been messing about with these old classics. Its a comforting feeling we all have that. All joking aside, I mean it,

The last words my dad said to me "Have fun son". Luckily I am very good at that,

Cheers
Jerry
 
my condolences over your loss, it’s especially difficult when your a long way away. I lost my dad last year 1 hour after we entered France on a 2 month holiday, and had to return home after waiting for 24 hours to get the dog vetted. This followed losing my mum 2 years earlier while I was away in Austria. You can’t get home soon enough, but once home there’s nothing to do but be sad on their passing. Rejoice in the good times you knew with him.
 
Many of you guys will always get to enjoy the fact that your Dads were supportive of your motorcycling; you may never know how much that means to a guy whose parents HATED motorcycles. Especially treasure that. If you actually got to RIDE TOGETHER, I can only imagine the joy; I have made all the effort for my sons to enjoy motorcycles to the fullest.

"Have Fun" guys...
 
very sorry to hear of your loss Jerry
My dad and mum have long passed
The feeling you get from such a loss puts things into perspective
Best wishes
 
Hi Jerry, I'm really sorry to read your sad news. I went through the same sad situation with my Dad and flew back home to the UK in March to say goodbye. It's a melancholy time, but I'm glad you got to go home. I hope you will find comfort in your friends and family. It's so good to re-connect, even during a very tough time like this. Best wishes and deepest condolences.
 
Sorry for your loss Jerry D. Will be thinking of your situation over the coming weeks , take care of yourself and yours as well as all your unpleasant duties .... like most on here my Mom & Dad have been gone for ages , even my younger Sister ..... my wife Jo lost her 92 yr young Mom last wk of March this spring , her Mom was defiant to the end with her wishes , her passing took a while in hospital , by the end with covid restrictions , Jo was only allowed visitor , it is a very tuff time to be loosing a loved one with all the added complications ... good luck with all of it and as long as you remember your lost one they live ....
 
Sounds like a really hard time, Jerry. You and your family have all my sympathy. The loss of a loved one is never easy, but yours seems to have been made much worse by the current circumstances. Taking care of family is way more important than what goes on in this forum.

I don't get to the pub section very often, but it's nice that it's there so we can tell the jerks (or those who just get carried away) in the regular forums to "take it to the pub."

Just saw this Jerry. I don't get to the Pub very often.
My sincerest Condolences. It's never pleasant, your's is hard enough with the long distance, now amplify it with Covid and other issues. WOW...
Have to admit, a little tear appeared reading your Dad's last words to you.
Stay strong, we're with you....
 
I'm very sorry to hear your news. It's a sad and tough time. Been there and my thoughts are with you. It gets easier, but you still miss them.
