Terribly Sad News

[landrovermick]

friends,

i had the ultimate in terrible news this saturday past, two of my police colleagues had the unfortunate duty of having to inform me that may father ( aka landroverterry on this site) - had died in his sleep at Yass NSW - on the way to Sydney - from Yackandandah / Allans Flat to go to the post classic motorcycle races at Eastern Creek. .

Dad had been ill for some time - it now seems far worse that anyone suspected, he died - alone in a motel room of suspected heart failure,

My best mate is gone

- I miss him more than i ever thought it was possible to miss anyone, the grief is unbelieveable - something you dont really ever feel until something like this happens,

[procrastination inc]

My thoughts are with you.

all the best to you and your family

Anyone who was close to their Dad & lost them, especially suddenly, will know how you feel, Mick. End of the world stuff.....but......... eventually it does get better, even though you won't think that now.


Condolences, Mick. Chin up.

[MarknDeb]

Sorry to hear Mick, he will allways be with you in the heart & mind mate.

[one_iota]

I had the pleasure of meeting your Dad (albeit briefly) at the LR Expo. He struck me as being a real gentleman. My condolences.

[landrovermick]

Thanks for your kind thoughts everyone, dad was a member of the LROCV - he wasnt a very active member - but a member he was just the same, - does anyone have a contact phone number for the secretary, i guess i should tell them...

Mick,
Sorry to hear the news
Probably the best contact at LROCV Would be Pam West who looks after memberships and the web pages.
Her email address is members@lrocv.com.au

[Bushwanderer]

Hi Mick,
Sorry about your loss

When my father died it was after a long battle with cancer. The good part was that it gave us time to prepare, the bad part was watching his ongoing suffering before he went.

Even though your loss is sudden & unexpected, at least your father was doing something that he was looking forward to.

[Cap]

Sorry to hear it mate. My grandfather died 2 weeks ago in hes sleep too. Nothing tears you apart more than the loss of a loved one. Thoughts out to you and your family.

[JamesH]

Condolences to your and your family. I hope that, soon, thinking of your father going about and pursuing something that gave him enjoyment and living life gives you some small comfort

[Killer]

Sincerest condolences on what must be a terrible time for you, my heart goes out to you.

All the best, Mick.

[mcrover]

[Bushie]

Mick,

I'm sure the thoughts of everyone are with you at this time. No doubt as others have said time will dull the pain, but I suppose it will never fully go.
Keep the chin up, and we're all here if you need to talk

Hi Mick,

So sorry to hear about your dad. Know what you're going through. I lost both my parents at separate times, many years ago, and it is really hard. The only advice I can offer is to take one day at a time. And remember the good times:)

Sorry to here that Mick. I do understand what you are going through as I lost my mother last year and it did take months to get over it. All I can say as time slowly passes it will get better.
Though you do here the occasional song on the radio or CD which brings back a flood of memories.
Mate take some time out and look after yourself.

[gruntfuttock]

[dobbo]

Sorry to hear of your loss Mick.

[VladTepes]

I don't pretend there's anything I can say to ease you grief mate.

My thoughts are with you and I (and I'm sure all others on this site) are happy to lend an ear if you want to chat, and of course if there is ANYTHING else we can do you need only ask.

It's shame your dad didn't get to see that last race, but no doubt it's what he was dreaming about and that probably made him a happy man.

All the best Mick, look after your family.

Cheers

Mike.

[antvc]

Hi Mick,

I've been intending to join for a few months, but your message made me join today.

Don't know you or your dad, and you don't know me, but just wanted to pass on my condolences to you and your family.

Death is terrible. We just lost our first son. Stillborn at 40weeks. I'd been looking forward to taking him to Trivett at Parramatta to show him the new Defender.

Death wipes you out for ages. Glad so many people have offered their support.

Grief and tears are OK

regards,
Rick

[BradM]

My condolences Mick to you and your family. Loss of parents is very hard at any time but when they are very close to you the pain and grief is two fold.

[disco gazza]

My condolences to Mick and the family.

[Ace]

my deepest sympathies to you mate.

[Gaz69]

Sorry mate.

[tempestv8]

Your Pa has gone to a better place.

Sorry to hear of your loss. :o

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Sorry just read this. My sincerest condolences... what a tragic way to go.

I believe he still lives on with you now though.

[duff]

So very sorry.

Lost my dad (and best mate) to cancer 11 years ago.

I Took it bad at first, missed his company and wisdom in the shed. I missed all the ribbing he gave me, but then realised that the last thing the old bugger would want was for me to spend too much time grieving.

I still hear him giving me a hard time everyday and feel him looking over my shoulder....it just brings a smile to my face now.

You wont appreciate this yet I would think, but battle on, it gets easier and then you can do him proud.

BUT for now, accept my condolences and best wishes.

Rob

[DiscoStew]

Sincerest condolences.

[solmanic]

My condolences here too.

But ponder the possibility that now your Dad is enjoying a TDV8 Defender on some of the gnarliest tracks you could ever dream of.

At least that's what I expect to be driving when I get there.

[cucinadio]

Im sorry for your loss and all the best for you in the next few weeks mate :twobeers: to you dad and all the best

[Disco_owner]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss , My Condolences.

[951cxn]

My deepest condolences, I know that you realy never get over the loss of a parent, they would want you to get on with your life. You just go through periods sometimes where you think about all the times you had with them, they never leave you.

[barney]

mick, i know how you feel, in 2001, 5 months to the day after my mother died, i was at work when i got a call from my cousin that my father had died. he lived 2 doors down from my cousin on the central coast, she hadn't heard from him for a few days and went looking for him. the house was all locked up but the car was in the garage, she used her key and found him where he'd collapsed 2 nights before as he was going to bed.
while i'm not one to mourn for long, nor do i feel that death is a tradgedy all of the time (for some people it's a timely relief from long term illness, as with my mother), the sudden shock of the news really put me on my ass, the realisation that i would never see him again, even though we'd never been "best" mates.
my thoughts go out to you and i hope you can get through it allright. your mates will help you the most through this, your family will need you too.

[McDisco]

Mick

I feel your pain mate. Only time can help...
