Sorry to hear of your loss Joel. Life will not be the same without one so close. There will be many things that remind you of him, but also many chances to do honor to his memory.  (i.e. "What would Dad do?") To me, that has been the best way to deal with the loss of a family member.

You know we're here for you buddy.

My condolences, my Dad passed away nearly 20 years ago from a heart attack and there really isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him or miss him to this day.  

We had a rocky road most of my life because we were both stubborn but we were just starting to get a lot closer when he passed away.  It really bothers me that my wife and kids never had the chance to meet him.

Fortunately he got to live a few dreams through me as we both had similar interests.  Even though he had a great fear of flying it was something he always wanted to do and actually went with me on one of my long cross country flights with my instructor while working on my private pilot's certificate.  He also is responsible for my interest in motorcycles from those off road trail rides he used to take me on as a kid.  We also used to work on the cars together.

Through the years witnessing friends lose fathers, I have always given this information with hopes that it cheers them up somewhat.  I was a year and 5 months old when my father died.  I never got to know him.  I don't remember him.  I have no memories with him, no playing ball, no learning to ride a bike from him, no going to for advice about girls, no riding motorcycles with him.  You are very fortunate to have had your father for as long as you did.  I envy that.  Breathe in those memories, hold onto them, and tell your children's children all about the man you called dad.  Please take great care of yourself.
