Ripper, my condolences. I'm sorry for your loss. Yes, we feel better when our loved ones are no longer suffering, but still feel the void of their departure. Holler if I can do anything or if you need someone to talk to.

Sure is a somber day when a brother is grieving over the loss of a family member. The great thing about being a Misfit is having another family in these times. I hope to lighten the mood with the following. Now, there are things I did not like about George Bush, but the following was a little comical after Isis told him they tried to jihad in Texas. Our own government would have to think twice about messing with Texas let alone these unskilled cowards.

Ripper, i am so sorry for your loss.

Watch out, there is always a [M] near you!!!

Sorry for your loss brother Ripper.

Wow SKY, so sorry for your loss, we will pray that the good lord will give you peace throughout all this. If there is anything we can do to help than let us know. My wife would love to send a card out to you. Could you p.m. your address.

Couldn't find any of my travel mugs...had to borrow one from my daughter.

Pretty nice huh?

Hey, I really needed a coffee!

I APPRECIATE IT GUYS I WONT LOSE THE [M]

Condolences Ripper , my friend, my father's passing was not so long ago that I cannot remember the pain. The pain eases with the passing of time but good memories will never fade. The time for grieving is upon you , try not to dwell on your loss too much ,but rejoice in the fact he lived and was YOUR dad and cherish the fond memories you have.

'Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well'

My thoughts are with you.

Blessed be Brother

PS ..a glass or 2 of "Irish" will be raised in his honour tonight.

So sorry for your loss Sir Ripper. Stay strong brother! I know just from the posts that u make that you are an incredible person . Well I just wanted to tell everyone that I am done with my AP testing and there are only 22 school days until I graduate!!

Taking a little break from the Family to gather my thoughts.
Thank all of you for your support! You have all really been here for me the past Month, been a rough patch, but having all of you to get me through means more than you will ever know. When I was a little kid my Dad seemed like a Giant. 6'6" and about 220. Temper longer than the day and he always drove a freaking VW Beatle. Hated sitting behind him because there was nowhere for my little legs! Found this pic today, thought I would share it. No idea how old I was, guessing 2 or 3. It was at the old Farmhouse.
My first guitar! On the back Dad had written," He's a pickin' and I'm a grinnin'" really funny because I never pictured Dad as a Hee Haw fan!
Thanks again Brothers!

ughh school .-.

Sorry to hear of your loss Ripper GBU .

Uggggg I caught my wife kissing a non misfit, Jesse James.

My goodness do I stlll keep her or what?

Brother Rip...sorry to hear about your loss I am not a practicing Catholic, though I still reach out to the Big Man upstairs from time to time...no, not you Hulk... and get out of my bathroom) I would like to think your dad was a great man as, fathers like ourselves, like to think we do our best not because we have to, but we want to for our children As said before, my son once told me..."a memory today is a treasure tomorrow". Cool thing about the inscription on the guitar and proves my son's point

On a side and lighter note, we too had a burial last night, as my son's carnival fishes passed away after surviving three years (aren't those things suppose to last only 24 hrs?). We dug a hole in the backyard, said our goodbyes, and filled the whole with water so they can swim into the Ocean of Eternal Life. If my son doesn't change my Depends often when I need them, like my lack of cleaning his fish tank which probably caused their demise, I might end up one day in the backyard with a bigger swimming hole for me

MISFIT STRONG. MISFITS UNITED. MISFITS THROUGH AND THROUGH...FROM HERE TO ETERNITY SEE YOU BROTHERZ AROUND

Sorry for your loss Ripper. Keep strong bro. We're here for ya.

I was awakened by a call about 45 minutes ago.
It was my Sister telling my Dad had passed away. Part of me feels glad that he isn't suffering anymore.
But the other part of me misses him terribly already. I have to go to the Doc in the morning, then meet up with my family.
Gonna be a tough day.

Yeah Davy, where's your kiss?

Von, you like that? Look up the Forney Museum in Denver. All that and big ass trains too! They have one of Hitler's armored cars as well as one of Amelia Earhart's. Good stuff.

Edit- not one of Amelia's "armored" cars. To my knowledge, she never had one.

I'm feeling a lil deadly today

Again I am at a loss for words. Thank you all so much! I showed your posts to my family tonight and they were all in tears. My little Brother mentioned how it gave him hope that so many could care about someone they never met. I told him, now you know why Friendship comes from the heart. Brother Slatz, you always make me smile! I hope that I give that back every now and then.
Digging through some of Dad's stuff tonight I found this picture. The only thing written on the back was " Old Shutterbutt" it's from his days in the 28th Bomb Wing. Guessing this was his BUFF, can't swear to that.
